Abstract

Provided is an optical wavelength multi/demultiplexing circuit with a high rectangular transmission loss spectrum that is able to secure loss flatness of a transmission band, maintain/reduce a guard bandwidth of wavelength channel spacing, and broaden a transmission bandwidth. The circuit uses a multimode waveguide for a connecting part between a field modulation device and an AWG. The field modulation device is constituted by a common input waveguide, an optical branching unit, optical delay lines, a multiplex interference unit, and a mode converter/multiplexer.
