Abstract:
An optical multiplexing circuit capable of accurately monitoring light of a plurality of wavelengths is provided. An optical multiplexing circuit includes a plurality of branching units configured to each divide light output from a corresponding one of a plurality of input waveguides, a multiplexing unit configured to multiplex a plurality of first beams of the light, each obtained by dividing the light by a corresponding one of the plurality of branching units, an output waveguide configured to output the light multiplexed by the multiplexing unit, a plurality of monitoring multiplexing units that are optical circuits identical to the multiplexing unit, a plurality of first monitoring waveguides configured to output a plurality of second beams of the light, each obtained by dividing the light by a corresponding one of the plurality of branching units, to corresponding ones of the plurality of monitoring multiplexing units, and a plurality of second monitoring waveguides configured to each output an output of a corresponding one of the plurality of monitoring multiplexing units.
