The present invention provides a lightwave circuit device, an optical
multiplexer, and an optical demultiplexer with which light can be
multiplexed or demultiplexed even when a plurality of lightwaves of
varying wavelength are inputted. The lightwave circuit device includes
first to third Mach-Zehnder interferometers. The first to third
Mach-Zehnder interferometers each have first to third ports, a first
optical coupler, first and second optical waveguides, a second optical
coupler, and a first heater provided along at least one of the first and
the second optical waveguides. The second port of the first Mach-Zehnder
interferometer and the first port of the second Mach-Zehnder
interferometer are optically coupled, and the third port of the first
Mach-Zehnder interferometer and the first port of the third Mach-Zehnder
interferometer are optically coupled.
