Abstract

A Y branch circuit according to the present invention includes; a under clad; a circuit core, formed on the under clad and having a main core and two branch cores, connected to the main core, and an over clad that embeds the circuit core. The main core and the two branch cores are connected across an interval. The two branch cores have a width-to-height ratio of 50% to 150% and have a gap, at the main core end, that is narrower at the over clad side than at the under clad side.
