Abstract:
To provide an optical multiplexing circuit that can accurately monitor light of a plurality of wavelengths, and that can tolerate degradation of LDs. An optical multiplexing circuit includes m sets of multiplexers configured to multiplex light output from n connection waveguides being a plurality of connection waveguides wherein a multiplexing unit configured to input and multiplex light output from the m sets of the multiplexers from m input waveguides, an output waveguide configured to output light multiplexed by the multiplexing unit, and n×m or m branching units being inserted into n×m connection waveguides of the plurality of connection waveguides or the m input waveguides are provided on a same substrate.
