Abstract
An optical filter includes a variable wavelength interference filter including a pair of reflection films and having a plurality of transmission peak wavelengths according to the dimension of the gap between the pair of reflection films and a fixed wavelength filter disposed so as to face the variable wavelength interference filter and having a plurality of filter regions different from one another in transmission wavelength segment. The plurality of transmission peak wavelengths of the variable wavelength interference filter correspond to the transmission wavelength segments of the plurality of filter regions, respectively. The plurality of transmission peak wavelengths of the variable wavelength interference filter each change within the corresponding transmission wavelength segment of the plurality of filter regions in accordance with a change in the gap dimension.
