A laser module has an optical amplifier, a first etalon and a wavelength
selectable mirror. The first etalon has wavelength peaks at a given
wavelength interval in transmission characteristics and transmits a light
from the optical amplifier. The wavelength peaks are tunable. The
wavelength selectable mirror acts as an external mirror of an external
cavity laser including the optical amplifier, and has a relatively high
reflection intensity at a part of wavelength range in an effective gain
range of the optical amplifier. The effective gain range of the optical
amplifier includes more than one wavelength peak of the first etalon. A
reflection bandwidth where the wavelength selectable mirror has a
relatively high reflection intensity is less than twice of the wavelength
interval of the wavelength peaks of the first etalon.
