ABSTRACT:
An optical wavelength converter comprises a substrate, a first waveguide formed in the substrate and allowing a fundamental wave to enter therein, and a second waveguide extending parallel to the first waveguide and disposed on the substrate at a predetermined distance spaced from the first waveguide, wherein the second waveguide has refractive index gratings formed and arranged periodically in the extending direction thereof, each refractive index grating having an equivalent refractive index different from that of the second waveguide. The optical wavelength converter is of high conversion efficiency.
