Abstract:
A tunable light source includes a light source; a wavelength selecting device that selects, according to a control signal, output light with a specific wavelength from light output from the light source; and a wavelength monitor including a wavelength filter including multiple output ports corresponding to filtering paths through which the output light passes, and a light-receiving device that is disposed to face one of the output ports and receives light output from the one of the output ports. The wavelength filter is configured such that a maximum quantity of the light output from the one of the output ports facing the light-receiving device becomes greater than a maximum quantity of light output from another one of the output ports.

Claim (Index 4):
The tunable light source as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein\n the at least one light-receiving device comprises two light-receiving devices; the optical divider includes\n four input waveguides two of which are connected to the first waveguide and the second waveguide, \n an optical coupler one end of which is connected to the four input waveguides, and \n four output waveguides including first ends that are connected to another end of the optical coupler and second ends having the output ports, two of the output ports facing the light-receiving devices; and \n the optical divider is configured such that the maximum quantities of two of the light beams output from two of the output waveguides whose output ports face the light-receiving devices are greater than the maximum quantities of two of the light beams output from other two of the output waveguides.
