Abstract
An optical waveguide device in which optical characteristics are less degraded even when a branch angle in a Y branch portion of an optical waveguide is great is provided. In an optical waveguide device in which an optical waveguide is formed on a substrate, the optical waveguide includes a first branch portion which branches light into two light rays at a branch angle of 1/35 rad or more, a second branch portion (not illustrated) and a third branch portion (not illustrated) are arranged to be connected to each of two branched waveguides branched from the first branch portion, a radiation light guiding waveguide is arranged between the two branched waveguides of the first branch portion, and guides radiation light radiated from between the two branched waveguides at the first branch portion to the outside of the optical waveguide, and an optical termination portion (an electrode) which absorbs the guided radiation light or emits the guided radiation light to the outside of the substrate is arranged in a termination portion of the radiation light guiding waveguide.
