Abstract:
A 90-degree optical hybrid includes two optical splitters that respectively split inputted light into two beams, two optical combiners that respectively combine two beams of inputted light and thereby output two beams of interfering light respectively, and four arm waveguides that input light splitted by any of the two optical splitters into any of the two optical combiners. Each of the four arm waveguides has a bend waveguide arranged at its center and a plurality of optical waveguides including a tapered waveguide having a width that decreases toward the bend waveguide. Both ends of each of the plurality of optical waveguides are respectively in contact with a end surface of any one of the two optical splitter, the two optical combiners, the bend waveguide and the other of the plurality of optical waveguides, and each of the plurality of waveguides is the tapered waveguide or a linear waveguide.
