Optical circuit element and an integrated type optical circuit device

摘要

An optical circuit element has a beam splitter which is formed with a plurality of grooves in optical waveguides, or formed in such a manner that the central axes of the waveguides to be coupled are set off from one another or the shape of the waveguides is modified. Further, an integrated type optical circuit device include: an optical circuit element having a plurality of optical waveguides on the input side and having a beam splitter which is formed with a plurality of grooves in the optical waveguides to split the light guided through the optical waveguides: and plural kinds of input light generating sources each arranged corresponding to one of the optical waveguides on the input side.
