An optical filter includes a first variable wavelength bandpass filter that extracts light of a first wavelength band and has first and second spectral bands and a second variable wavelength bandpass filter that extracts light of a second wavelength band adjacent to the first wavelength band and has third and fourth spectral bands. Part of the period during which the light of the first spectral band is extracted overlaps with the period during which the light of the third spectral band is extracted, and part of the period during which the light of the second spectral band is extracted overlaps with the period during which the light of the fourth spectral band is extracted.

An optical module includes: a wavelength variable interference filter that includes two reflection films facing each other via an inter-reflection-film gap and an electrostatic actuator changing a gap amount of the inter-reflection-film gap; and a voltage controller that is driven in accordance with a plurality of supply voltages from a power supplier and applies a driving voltage to the electrostatic actuator. The voltage controller reduces the driving voltage when one of the plurality of supply voltages is less than a predetermined threshold.
