An optical waveguide chip includes an output waveguide connected to an optical fiber, an optical fiber array module, or another optical waveguide chip. The output waveguide has a coupling cross-section wider than the core of the optical fiber, the core of an optical fiber of the optical fiber array module, and the waveguide of the other optical waveguide, respectively. The cross-section width of the output waveguide of the optical waveguide chip gradually increases toward an end of the waveguide with a slant angle of 10° or less. Therefore, when the optical waveguide chip is connected to the optical fiber, the optical fiber array module, or the other optical waveguide chip during packaging of an optical waveguide device, an offset of the optical axis of about ±20% of the width of the waveguide guide is allowable. As a result, there are no additional or extra steps in fabrication of an optical waveguide chip and no additional loss of the optical characteristics, and the required interconnection or production time is considerably reduced.
