Abstract
An optical waveguide device that enables single-mode coupling between cores to be coupled by controlling optical signal intensity variation due to an MPI. The optical waveguide device includes a first device end surface, a second device end surface, a waveguide, and a cladding layer. The waveguide has a first waveguide end surface and a second waveguide end surface, and light beams of a plurality of modes having different orders are guided. Further, the waveguide has one or more bent portions. The cladding layer has a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the waveguide. The waveguide has a waveguide length L of 5×10[nm] or more and 100×10[nm] or less, and has a structure in which an inter-mode group delay time difference Δβ1 satisfies a condition given by |Δβ1|≤½×10[s]/L.
