Abstract
An optical branching filter branches or mixes lights of n-kind of wavelengths. An input/output port for the light mixed n-kind of wavelengths is provided to one of two surfaces of the transparent block and second input/output parts for forming optical filters allowing only the lights having the predetermined wavelengths to pass therethrough, respectively among the lights in n-kind of wavelengths, but reflecting the lights having other wavelengths, respectively is provided to any one of two surfaces. A first input/output port and n second input/output ports, respectively is formed by an optical waveguide and a lens which optically connects the optical waveguide and first input/output part or a second input/output part. Positions of each second input/output port are selected so that the length of optical paths formed between the lenses of the first input/output port in the second input/output port are in the reverse proportion to the lengths of wavelengths corresponding to the second input/output portions.
