Abstract
A method for controlling a wavelength of an optical module, includes: a laser light source unit emitting a laser beam; a wavelength filter having a periodical transmission characteristic with respect to a wavelength of light; a temperature controller on which the wavelength filter is placed and that adjusting a temperature of the wavelength filter; a heat generating body placed on the temperature controller; and a control device controlling the wavelength of the laser beam emitted from the laser light source unit and control the transmission characteristic of the wavelength filter based on an intensity of the laser beam transmitted through the wavelength filter, the method including changing at least one of a target value of the wavelength control of the laser beam and a target value of the control of the wavelength filter based on a current value of the heat generating body.
