ABSTRACT:
A compound optical waveguide device which is of a reduced size has an optical waveguide chip, a photodiode, and a laser diode. The optical waveguide chip has a substrate of LiNbO.sub.3, a Y-shaped optical waveguide, a phase modulator, and a polarizer. The substrate has an end face inclined at 70.degree. with respect to the optical axis of the Y-shaped optical waveguide. A photodiode is fixedly mounted on the substrate. A portion of light propagated through the Y-shaped optical waveguide is reflected by the inclined end face to enter the photodiode. Light emitted from the laser diode enters the Y-shaped optical waveguide through the inclined end face.
