Abstract:
A dependency of a characteristic of an optical circuit on an optical signal intensity occurring due to input of a high intensity optical signal is reduced in a waveguide type optical interferometer circuit. The waveguide type optical interferometer circuit is a waveguide type optical interferometer circuit formed in one plane, and includes an input waveguide, an optical branching unit, an optical coupling unit, an output waveguide, and optical waveguides having different lengths from each other and being interposed between the optical branching unit and the optical coupling unit. A light intensity compensating region is formed on an optical path extending from the optical branching unit to the optical coupling unit, and the light intensity compensating region is formed by using a light intensity compensating material having a light intensity coefficient different from a light intensity coefficient of an optical distance relative to an incident light intensity in the optical path.
