Disclosed are an asymmetric Y-shaped optical waveguide structure and an optical transceiver using the structure. The asymmetric Y-shaped optical waveguide structure includes a main axis optical waveguide extended in a longitudinal direction; and a branch optical waveguide extended from an extension start point in the main axis optical waveguide in a longitudinal direction as much as a predetermined region and then diverged outside. The main axis optical waveguide and the branch optical waveguide have effective refractive indexes, the magnitude relation of which is reversed for optical signals having first and second wavelength range. The optical transceiver includes an asymmetric Y-shaped optical waveguide structure, an optical fiber optically coupled to the structure for transmitting/receiving of the bi-directional optical signal, a laser diode and a photodiode. Accordingly, it is possible to miniaturize the optical transceiver, reduce a packaging cost, and improve reliability of the optical transceiver.
