Abstract

A cross waveguide includes a first waveguide and a second waveguide, where the first waveguide and the second waveguide are mutually perpendicular and crosswise disposed, an area formed by a cross part of the first waveguide and the second waveguide is a cross area, the first waveguide and the second waveguide each include a shallow etching part and a core layer, and the shallow etching part is symmetrically distributed on two sides of the core layer in a length direction relative to an axis of the core layer. By appropriately adjusting a width of the core layer or a width of the shallow etching part, an energy loss generated during optical wave transmission in the cross waveguide can be effectively reduced.
