In the method for controlling a tunable wavelength laser, information designating an oscillation wavelength is inputted. A driving condition for causing laser oscillation at a first wavelength is acquired from a memory. A control value of wavelength characteristics of the etalon and a difference between the first wavelength and a second wavelength are referred to, and a control value of wavelength characteristics of the etalon for causing laser oscillation at the second wavelength is calculated. The control value of wavelength characteristics of the etalon are assigned to the tunable wavelength laser, and a wavelength is controlled so that a wavelength sensing result becomes a first target value. Information indicating a wavelength shift amount from the designated oscillation wavelength is inputted. The wavelength sensing result is calculated as a second target value. The wavelength is controlled so that the wavelength sensing result becomes the second target value.
