Abstract: An optical transceiver includes a plurality of light sources having a ring resonator, a reception antenna to receive light, and a wavelength-separating filter to separate, from the light received by the reception antenna, light of a same wavelength as the light output from a part of the plurality of light sources. The wavelength-separating filter is composed of the ring resonator included in the light source.

Abstract: An optical filter includes a first ring resonator a second ring resonator having different perimeters, and a waveguide optically coupled to the first ring resonator and transmit light to the first ring resonator. Light incident on the waveguide is transmitted to the second ring resonator through the first ring resonator. A free spectral range of a transmission spectrum of the first ring resonator and a free spectral range of a transmission spectrum of the second ring resonator are staggered to each other, and are set so that a transmission spectrum of a double ring corresponding to a synthetic spectrum of the transmission spectrum of the first ring resonator and the transmission spectrum of the second ring resonator has a highest first peak at an arbitrary wavelength.

Abstract: A first optical waveguide is formed on a semiconductor substrate in such a way that the first optical waveguide is surrounded by clad layers. An outside portion of the first optical waveguide is formed as a terminator, which includes a taper portion and a bending structure portion. The taper portion has a width, which is gradually reduced in a direction to a forward end of the first optical waveguide. The taper portion coverts a light confinement condition from a strong condition to a weak condition in the direction to the forward end of the first optical waveguide. The bending structure portion has an arc shape extending from an outside end of the taper portion on a plane parallel to a surface of the semiconductor substrate.
