An optical filter includes a first ring resonator a second ring resonator having different perimeters, and a waveguide optically coupled to the first ring resonator and transmit light to the first ring resonator. Light incident on the waveguide is transmitted to the second ring resonator through the first ring resonator. A free spectral range of a transmission spectrum of the first ring resonator and a free spectral range of a transmission spectrum of the second ring resonator are staggered to each other, and are set so that a transmission spectrum of a double ring corresponding to a synthetic spectrum of the transmission spectrum of the first ring resonator and the transmission spectrum of the second ring resonator has a highest first peak at an arbitrary wavelength.
