Abstract
An optical branching waveguide disclosed herein includes: a substrate; a first optical waveguide provided on the substrate; a second optical waveguide provided on the substrate and arranged close to the first optical waveguide; and a cladding layer covering either one of a first portion of the first optical waveguide and a second portion of the second optical waveguide and including an opening the other one of the first portion and the second portion. The effective refractive index of the first optical waveguide at the first portion and the effective refractive index of the second optical waveguide at the second portion become equal in either one of a state where resin is present in the opening and a state where the resin is not present in the opening.
