Optical waveguide device and method of adjusting a transmission loss thereof
An optical waveguide device includes a plurality of optical waveguides propagating therethrough a signal beam, and a plurality of optical sub-waveguides connected to the plurality of optical waveguides respectively, applying an excessive loss to the signal beam by branching a partial beam of the signal beam. A dynamic range and a tolerance in an amount of the excessive loss is adjusted by adjusting widths of the plurality of optical sub-waveguides with respect to the plurality of optical waveguides, and the amount of the excessive loss applied to the signal beam are adjusted by adjusting an angle connecting each of the plurality of optical sub-waveguides with respect to each of the plurality of optical waveguides.
