Abstract

An integrated optical waveguide circuit includes a substrate; an optical wavelength multiplexer and an optical power splitter formed on a same surface of the substrate. The optical wavelength multiplexer is composed of a first slab optical waveguide, a second slab optical waveguide, a single or a plurality of input optical waveguides connected to the first slab optical waveguide at one end of the first slab optical waveguide, a plurality of arrayed optical waveguides arranged in parallel and having different lengths and connected to the first slab optical waveguide and the second slab optical waveguide, and a plurality of output optical waveguides arranged in parallel and connected to the second slab optical waveguide. The optical power splitter is composed of the second slab optical waveguide, one or more input optical waveguides, and the plurality of output optical waveguides arranged in parallel and connected to the second slab optical waveguide.
