A first waveguide and a second waveguide including a first layer and a second layer are provided. In a first longitudinal segment, the first layer gradually approaches a first waveguide in a first transverse direction. In a second longitudinal segment, the first and second waveguides are longitudinally oriented. In a third longitudinal segment, the first layer includes a length portion having a width in the first transverse direction that gradually decreases along the third longitudinal segment, and the second layer includes a length portion having a width in the first transverse direction that gradually increases along the third longitudinal segment.
