A main optical waveguide portion and/or branching opti- cal waveguide portions of the optical waveguide is tapered in such a way as it expands towards the output side for reducing a coupling loss due to mismatching of numerical apertures N.A. between optical fibers and the optical waveguide, wherein the light entering the opti- cal waveguide at an angle determined by the numerical aperture N.A. of the optical fiber gradually reduces its angle of incidence to an interface of the core and clad as it passes by a portion where the taper is provided and when the light reaches to the output side of the optical fiber, the numerical aperture N.A. thereof is effectively reduced to a value which is lower than the numerical aperture N.A. determined by a difference of refractive-indices in the optical waveguide, and there- by, by making the numerical aperture N.A. of the optical waveguide little greater than that of the optical fiber, it is possible to reduce the loss at the input side as well as the loss at the output side simultaneously, and further, the taper is not necessarily be a straight taper but a curved taper can be used.
