ABSTRACT:
A waveguide-type optical switch having a Y-branch structure composed of a Y-waveguide and branched waveguides provided with electrodes for electrically controlling the guide asynchronism thereof characterized in that the branched waveguides arranged at a converging angle of .theta..sub.1, and the Y-waveguide having a branching angle .theta..sub.2 (.theta..sub.2 >.theta..sub.1) connected to the branched waveguides. It is possible to shorten the length of the device of the Y-structured arrangement having the electrodes capable electrically of controlling the asynchronism of the branched waveguides.
