まう。When many optical functional elements are integrated on one substrate, the light must be propagated vertically and horizontally, so it is inevitable that the optical waveguides used to propagate the light will sometimes cross each other. . At intersections of optical waveguides, light propagating through one optical waveguide leaks to the other intersecting optical waveguide, resulting in a problem of increased cross talk rings and an increase in the S/N ratio. From this point of view, the number of optical functional elements that can be integrated on a -substrate is naturally limited.

Indicated by Then, the front surface of the circuit board (20) and the end surface (2
The edge with 0a) is notched at an angle of 45° to form a slope (24). This slope (24) becomes a total reflection surface. Light propagating through the optical waveguide (24) is totally reflected on the slope (24) and heads toward the optical waveguide (21a).If there is light propagating through the optical waveguide (21a), this light is totally reflected on the slope (24).

The condition for total reflection is given by sinθ〉n2/nlte. When the substrate (20) is made of LiNbO3, its refractive index is about 2.2, and when it is made of glass, it is about 1.5. If these refractive indices are adopted as 01, the total reflection conditions described above will be θ>27' and θ>42°, respectively. Since the angle between the surface of the substrate (20) and the end surface is usually a right angle, the slope (24) has an inclination of 456 degrees. Therefore, since θ shown in FIG. 4 is 45°, the slope (24) satisfies the condition for total reflection.
