An arrayed waveguide grating type optical multiplexer and demultiplexer which achieves a low crosstalk even when temperature changes is provided, comprising, on a substrate, a waveguide chip in which an arrayed waveguide grating is formed that has a first waveguide, a first slab waveguide, an arrayed waveguide, a second slab waveguide, and a second waveguide, the waveguide chip being divided into two by any of the first and second slab waveguide, and includes a first glass plate to which one side of the arrayed waveguide grating divided into two in the waveguide chip is fixed, a second glass plate to which the other side thereof is fixed, and a compensation member compensating a temperature dependent shift of a light transmission center wavelength of the arrayed waveguide grating, wherein a part for the arrayed waveguide is not fixed to any of the first and second glass plates. |
