An optical signal processing apparatus includes a first optical waveguide and a first slab waveguide configured to equally distribute an output light of the first optical waveguide. A first arrayed waveguide includes an aggregate of optical waveguides changing in optical length by a constant interval for dividing the output light. A second slab waveguide focuses the optical output of the first arrayed waveguide. A spatial filter receives incident light focused by the second slab waveguide and distributes the incident light on a straight line. The spatial filter also modulates the light into a desired amplitude according to the position on the straight line. The apparatus also includes a second arrayed waveguide and an aggregate of optical waveguides changing in optical length by a constant interval for applying light modulated by the spatial filter to the second arrayed waveguide. Structure is provided for converging the output light of said second arrayed waveguide to a single point. The resulting output light is then appiled to a second optical waveguide.
