Abstract:
An optical waveguide device includes a pair of waveguides. One of the waveguides includes a first core formed in a conversion region and a third core formed in an exit region. The other of waveguides includes a second core formed in the conversion region and a fourth core formed in the exit region. Cross-sectional areas of the first and second cores are different from each other at an input end. Distributions of a refractive index of the first and second cores are respectively asymmetric in a perpendicular direction. A quantitative relation provided at the input end between an effective refractive index of an odd mode of TE0 and an effective refractive index of an even mode of TM0 is opposite to the quantitative relation provided at the output end. Cross-sectional areas of the third and fourth cores are different from each other at an output end.
