Abstract

An optical circuit includes a resonator and an optical waveguide that includes a ridge formed upon substrate or a semiconductor layer. The resonator has a light circulating surface and is disposed such that part of the light circulating surface faces the upper surface of the ridge, across a first gap. The distance between part of the light circulating surface and the upper surface of the ridge facing the part of the light circulating surface is shorter than the distance that an evanescent wave protrudes.
