A laser transmitter device includes a laser light source, first and second
optical elements, and first and second detection elements. The first
optical element has a first optical characteristic with wavelength
dependency, whose light transmissivity or reflectivity shows a monotone
increase or decrease within a wavelength range over channels. The second
optical element has a second optical characteristic with wavelength
dependency, whose transmissivity or reflectivity changes in a cycle
corresponding to intervals of the channels or two times the intervals.
The first detection element detects an intensity of light emitted from
the laser light source and coming via the first optical element, and
generates a first electric signal reflecting the first optical
characteristic. The second detection element detects an intensity of
light emitted from the laser light source and coming via the second
optical element, and generates a second electric signal reflecting the
second optical characteristic.
