Abstract
An optical transmitter that multiplexes wavelength channels includes: a first light source; one or more second light source each having a different wavelength; collimator lenses coupled to respective outputs of the first and second light sources; an optical multiplexer that causes an output light beam from the first light source to be transmitted from a first end surface to a second end surface, causes the output light beam from the first light source to be reflected by a reflecting mirror, causes an output light beam from the second light source to pass through a wavelength filter, causes the output light beam from the second light source to be reflected by the reflecting mirror, and causes output light beams of the respective wavelength channels, to sequentially multiplex the output light beams of the respective wavelength channels; and beam splitters respectively inserted between the collimator lenses and the first end surface.
