Abstract
Provided is a waveguide-type optical diffraction grating. A waveguide core includes a waveguide core that is asymmetric with respect to a thickness direction perpendicular to a light propagating direction. In the waveguide core, a phase adjustment portion is configured to adjust a phase difference between a forward wave traveling in an input direction and a reflected wave traveling in a direction reverse to the input direction in the waveguide-type optical diffraction grating, and the phase adjustment portion is provided in a manner that a sum of a phase of the forward wave and a phase of the reflected wave which are generated in the phase adjustment portion becomes a constant value irrespective of a polarization state of input light to the waveguide-type optical diffraction grating.
