Abstract
A semiconductor optical integrated device is a semiconductor optical integrated device in which a first optical element, a monitoring light waveguide and a second optical element, through which light propagates, are formed on a common semiconductor substrate; wherein the monitoring light waveguide is joined to the first optical element, and the second optical element is joined to the monitoring light waveguide. The monitoring light waveguide includes a light scattering portion for scattering a part of the light, which is composed of a combination of light waveguides having different mode field diameters or having different centers of mode field diameters; and a light detector for receiving scattered light scattered by the light scattering portion, is placed on an outer periphery of the monitoring light waveguide, or on a back surface of the semiconductor substrate on its side opposite to that facing the light scattering portion.
