ABSTRACT:
A 2-input, 2-output optical circuit is constructed by serially connecting two or more Mach-Zehnder interferometers possessing a structure in which two waveguides are embraced by two couplers. One output and one input of the two 2-input, 2-output optical circuit are connected by an optical propagation path to thereby construct a loop circuit. The waveguides of the Mach-Zehnder interferometers as well as the loop circuit are each provided with an optical path-length adjustment portion, thereby constructing a wavelength dispersion compensating filter.
