Disclosed is a wavelength multi/demultiplexer for separating two wavelength bands with a narrow wavelength spacing. A dielectric multilayer filter is provided in an intersection portion where two optical waveguides intersect each other and separates incident light to the dielectric multilayer filter to transmitted light and reflected light. Here, the distance X from the multilayer surface on the light-incident side of the dielectric multilayer to the central intersection point of the two intersecting optical waveguides is arranged to satisfy 0≦X≦d/2 (where “d” represents the thickness of the dielectric multilayer). With this configuration, a multi/demultiplexer can be realized that shows good wavelength response without spectral degradation even for two wavelengths having narrow wavelength spacing.

A low-cost, high-reliability polarization-independent optical waveguide interferometer is proposed which does not bring about any additional job involved in the insertion of a half-wave plate or excess loss of light. In an optical multi/demultiplexer utilizing optical interference of light waves passing through a plurality of optical waveguides with different lengths, such as an AWG and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, longitudinal integral values of birefringence values of the individual waveguides, which values are variable or invariable along the waveguides, are made equal for all waveguides 201 and 202. Thus, simply varying the waveguide width can implement polarization-independent operation, or on the contrary implement a polarization beam splitter. For example, the polarization-independent can be implemented by making the core widths, which are averaged in a longitudinal direction of a plurality of optical waveguides with different lengths, wider in a shorter optical waveguide, and narrower in a longer optical waveguide.

An object of this invention is to cancel a polarization dependence of a transmission center wavelength due to the waveguide birefringence in an array waveguide and a slab waveguide in an array waveguide diffraction grating type optical multiplexer/demultiplexer filter applied for optical communication, particularly, wavelength split multiplexing system. In order to achieve the object of this invention, a polarization mode convertor converts the TE mode in a waveguide to the TM mode and the TM mode to the TE mode. This conversion function makes it possible to cancel the polarization dependence of the transmission center wavelength due to the waveguide birefringence in the array waveguide and the slab waveguide in front of and behind the polarization mode convertor.

A silica-based optical waveguide circuit serves to reduce the time required to production while allowing a spot size converting function to work sufficiently. In a silica-based optical waveguide circuit comprising an input/output waveguide core formed to be thicker than an waveguide core and a tapered portion for connecting the input/output waveguide core and the waveguide core, wherein the waveguide circuit further has a core layer at each side of the input/output waveguide core, a thickness T of the core layer at the side of the input/output waveguide core is smaller than the thickness H of the input/output waveguide core.

An optical waveguide circuit is provided that can reduce or eliminate polarization dependence by reducing or eliminating birefringence. A substrate consists of a silicon substrate, and a cladding and a core are composed of silica-based glass. The core has a multilayer structure composed of a few types of layers with different refractive indices such as first core layers and second core layers stacked in the direction parallel to the substrate. As for the birefringence of the waveguide, the geometrical birefringence caused by the multilayer structure is canceled out by the other birefringence, thereby being able to reduce or eliminate the birefringence of the waveguide.

The present invention provides an optical demultiplexer and an optical multiplexer the transmission characteristics of which are unlikely to be affected by fabrication errors and which have small group delay dispersion. A cross output port (X-OUT) of a second optical demultiplexer element (DEMUX) is selected, and a through output port (T-OUT) of a third DEMUX is selected. A T-OUT of a first DEMUX has a passband equal to the X-OUT of the second DEMUX, and a X-OUT of the first DEMUX has a passband equal to the T-OUT of the third DEMUX. The T-OUT of the first DEMUX has group delay characteristics opposite to those of the X-OUT of the second DEMUX, and the X-OUT of the first DEMUX has group delay characteristics opposite to those of the T-OUT of the third DEMUX.
