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 5):
The tunable light source as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein\n the four input waveguides are arranged at regular intervals in a width direction of the optical coupler, and the four output waveguides are arranged at regular intervals in the width direction of the optical coupler; one of a center position of the four input waveguides in the width direction and a center position of the four output waveguides in the width direction matches a center position of the optical coupler in the width direction; and another one of the center position of the four input waveguides in the width direction and the center position of the four output waveguides in the width direction is shifted from the center position of the optical coupler in the width direction.
