A disclosed optical device includes a first waveguide disposed between a branching portion and a multiplexing portion on a semiconductor substrate, and a second waveguide disposed between the branching portion and the multiplexing portion, the second waveguide being longer than the first waveguide. In the optical device, an optical confinement effect of the first waveguide is greater than an optical confinement effect of the second waveguide, the first waveguide has a curvature with a first curvature radius (Rs), the second waveguide has a curvature with a second curvature radius (Rl), and the first curvature radius is smaller than the second curvature radius.
