Abstract
An optical receiver circuit includes: a substrate; and an optical waveguide device that is formed on the substrate. The optical waveguide device includes: a first optical splitter section branching the signal light into a first signal light propagation waveguide and a second signal light propagation waveguide and; a second optical splitter section branching the local-oscillator light into a first local-oscillator light propagation waveguide and a second local-oscillator light propagation waveguide; a first optical coupler section that combines the signal light propagating through the first signal light propagation waveguide and the local-oscillator light propagating through the first local-oscillator light propagation waveguide with each other; a second optical coupler section that combines the signal light propagating through the second signal light propagation waveguide and the local-oscillator light propagating through the second local-oscillator light propagation waveguide with each other.
