US Patent 11982839 Optical 90 degree hybrid circuit

To provide an optical 90-degree hybrid formed of a silicon waveguide capable of suppressing an optical loss and a phase error, and facilitating electronic packaging and optical packaging. In the optical 90-degree hybrid circuit including two optical branching units facing each other and two optical coupling units facing away from each other, four arm waveguides are arranged including bent waveguides each of which guides an output light of the optical branching unit to the optical coupling unit, and is formed in a curved shape.
