Abstract
PURPOSE:To enable efficient mode sepn. by forming two waveguides which are bisected with a tapered coupling part changed in thickness to a tapered shape as a boundary and setting the propagation constants and incident angles of these waveguides so as to satisfy prescribed conditions. CONSTITUTION:The two two-dimensional waveguides A, B bisected by the tapered coupling part C the thickness of which changes to a tapered shape in the thickness direction (z-axis direction) are formed. The respective propagation constants betaiA, betaiB, betajA, betajB in the waveguides A, B are so set as to satisfy the conditions betaiA>betaiB, betajA>betajB at the time of propagation in the same direction of at least two modes i, j (where i, j are integers) and the incident angle alphaA to the waveguide A is so set as to satisfy the conditions sin<-1>(betaiB/betaiA)>alphaA> sin<-1>(betajB/betajA). While the light wave of the mode i is, therefore, refracted in the waveguide B, the light wave of the mode j is totally reflected at the boundary C. The plural modes propagating in the plane type light guide are thereby efficiently separated.
