Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses an ultra-wideband beam splitting and combining device. The device comprises a substrate, and a first waveguide layer and a second waveguide layer which are stacked on the substrate in sequence. The upper surface of the first waveguide layer is in direct contact with the lower surface of the second waveguide layer. The second waveguide layer comprises an input gradual change waveguide region and an output gradual change waveguide region which are used for carrying out optical signal coupling. A first projection of the input gradual change waveguide region in the direction perpendicular to the substrate, a second projection of the output gradual change waveguide region in the direction perpendicular to the substrate and a third projection of the first waveguide layer in the direction perpendicular to the substrate meet the relation that the first projection and the second projection completely fall into the range of the third projection.
