A wavelength stabilizing filter has a wavelength transmission characteristic curve that has its peak in a wavelength located between a first continuous set band and a second continuous set band longer in wavelength than the first set band, and that linearly drops from the peak toward the shorter wavelength side than the first set band and also toward the longer wavelength side longer than the second set band. A control unit generates a control signal needed to enable an optical tunable filter to extract signal light with a predetermined wavelength from an inputted WDM signal, based on light transmitted through the wavelength stabilizing filter.

A phase shift unit provides a prescribed phase difference (π/2, for example) between a pair of optical signals transmitted via a pair of arms constituting a data modulation unit. A low-frequency signal f0 is superimposed on one of the optical signals. A signal of which phase is shifted by π/2 from the low-frequency signal f0 is superimposed on the other optical signal. A pair of the optical signals is coupled, and a part of which is converted into an electrical signal by a photodiode. 2f0 component contained in the electrical signal is extracted. Bias voltage provided to the phase shift unit is controlled by feedback control so that the 2f0 component becomes the minimum.
