| 摘要 |
An optical hybrid circuit includes an MMI coupler including input channels provided at positions symmetrical first output channels, and second output channels, to convert multilevel modulation signal into first and second optical signals each having an in-phase relationship; first optical coupler coupled to one of the first and the second output channels, and having a branching ratio of 85:15 or 15:85, to convert the first optical signals into third optical signals having a 45- or 135-degree phase relationship; second optical coupler coupled to the other of the first and the second output channels, and having a same branching ratio as that of the first optical coupler, to convert the second optical signals into fourth optical signals having a 135- or 45-degree phase relationship; and a phase controlling region provided on at least one of one of the first output channels and one of the second output channels. |
