A spectroscopic apparatus which is compact in size and performs
high-precision light-splitting with a large angular dispersion. An
optical input-processing section outputs a filtered transmitted light,
using a bandpass filter that transmits only wavelength bands at one
period of an input light, and collects the filtered transmitted light to
generate a collected beam. An optic includes a first reflection surface
and a second reflection surface which are high but asymmetric in
reflectivity, and causes the collected beam incident thereon to undergo
multiple reflections within an inner region between the first reflection
surface and the second reflection surface, to thereby cause split beams
to be emitted via the second reflection surface. A received
light-processing section performs received light processing of the beams
emitted from the optic. A control section variably controls at least one
of a filter characteristic of the bandpass filter and an optical length
through the optic.
