Abstract: In a wavelength selective filter, an optical fiber collimator, an interference filter, and a reflective plate are arranged in this order from front to rear along a z-axis. The collimator has a collimator lens disposed on the rear side of an optical fiber that is opened. The interference filter includes light incident and emitting surfaces, opposed with their xy-planes rotated about a y-axis at a predetermined rotation angle.
