Original Abstract Submitted
A core layer of an optical element includes a second conversion portion that converts a polarization mode of light from a TE1 mode to a TE0 mode. The second conversion portion includes: a splitting portion that splits the light in the TE1 mode incident from the first conversion portion into first split light in the TE0 mode and second split light in the TE0 mode which are in opposite phases; a coupling portion that couples the first split light that has propagated through a first branch waveguide and the second split light that has propagated through a second branch waveguide to emit the light in the TE0 mode; and a phase adjustment unit that adjusts a phase difference between the first split light and the second split light. The first branch waveguide and the second branch waveguide are arranged in a second direction.
