An optical transceiver has a first optical waveguide connected to an input/output port for signal light, a second optical waveguide configured to input and output test light, an optical circuit configured to perform optical-to-electrical conversion or electrical-to-optical conversion, and an optical switch provided between the optical circuit and the first and the second optical waveguides and configured to switch between a first path connecting the optical circuit to the first optical waveguide and a second path connecting the optical circuit to the second optical waveguide, wherein the optical switch is configured to select the second path in an ON state with an electrical voltage being applied to the optical switch, and select the first path in an OFF state without the electrical voltage being applied to the optical switch.
