Original Abstract Submitted
An example chip may include a substrate, an insulation layer located on a side of the substrate, and a first waveguide and a second waveguide that are in the insulation layer. The second waveguide is located on a side of the first waveguide away from the substrate. A transmission loss of the second waveguide is smaller than a transmission loss of the first waveguide. A first coupling portion of the first waveguide and a second coupling portion of the second waveguide form a first coupling structure, and the first coupling structure is configured to implement optical coupling between the first waveguide and the second waveguide.
