A tunable laser source of a Littman arrangement type has a wavelength selection
mirror rotating around a position where a mode hop is suppressed in a wavelength
variation, a feed screw receiving a driving force of a motor at one end to be rotated,
in which another end is disposed at a predetermined position, and which is larger
in coefficient of thermal expansion than the optical base, a first nut feedably
fitted to the feed screw, a flat spring in which one end is fixed to the first
nut; and a mirror arm having a rotation shaft disposed at a rotation center of
the wavelength selection mirror, and first and second arm portions formed in a
V-like shape and elongating from the rotation shaft. The wavelength selection mirror
is fixed to the first arm portion, and another end of the flat spring is fixed
to the second arm portion.
