ABSTRACT:
Input ports (103a,103b) formed from fundamental mode waveguides are provided at one end of a multimode waveguide (104). Further, an output port (105) formed from a fundamental mode waveguide is provided at the other end of the multimode waveguide (104). The multimode waveguide (104) has a width wider than those of the input ports (103a,103b) and the output port (105), and provides modes including multimode to the waveguide. The multimode waveguide (104) is embedded with a buried layer (200). Both of the end faces of the multimode waveguide (104) are made to be planes equivalent to a (100) plane or planes inclined from these planes. In a case of inclined planes, the planes are made to be planes inclined to a direction that the waveguide region spreads toward a stacked direction of the semiconductor layers.
