    Abstract: A planar optical waveguide element includes: a substrate; and an optical waveguide comprising a core and a cladding, the core being provided on the substrate so as to include first and second core regions arranged in parallel, the cladding having a smaller refractive index than the core. Also, the core forms a preceding-stage mode conversion portion that converts a mode of input light and a subsequent-stage mode conversion portion that converts a mode of light output from the preceding-stage mode conversion portion, and the first and second core regions are spaced apart from each other at an input end of the subsequent-stage mode conversion portion, and a gap between the first and second core regions is continuously decreased along the light waveguide direction such that the first and second core regions are in contact with each other at an output end of the subsequent-stage mode conversion portion.

    Abstract: An effective refractive index of a TM0 polarized wave guided through the first core when existing alone and an effective refractive index of a TE0 polarized wave guided through the second core when existing alone are continuous as a function of a distance from a starting point of a side-by-side arrangement section. A magnitude relationship between an effective refractive index of an odd mode of a TE0 polarized wave guided through the side-by-side arrangement section and an effective refractive index of an even mode of a TM0 polarized wave guided through the side-by-side arrangement section is reversed between the starting point and an ending point of the side-by-side arrangement section. A refractive index distribution is vertically asymmetrical in an interaction section. An emission edge surface and an emission edge surface cover an entrance edge surface without excess or deficiency.
