Abstract

An optical spectrum analyzer 100 and a wavelength variable light source 101 have each a sweep synchronization start function. A correction function of the rotation speed of a motor 106 for varying the angle of a diffraction grating in a spectroscope 104 so that extracted wavelength and output signal light wavelength match over a setup sweep wavelength range is found from the output signal light wavelength characteristic relative to the rotation angle of a spectral element 119 and the extracted wavelength of the spectroscope 104, and the rotation angle of motor 106 for driving the spectroscope 104 is varied for each setup wavelength in accordance with the correction function, then sweep is performed.
