ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an optical waveguide comprising a core portion made of a light propagating material and a cladding portion, a first dopant and a second dopant being induced into said core portion, the first dopant having a function of increasing a refractive index of the light propagating material and having a first thermal diffusion coefficient to said light propagating material, the second dopant having a function of decreasing the refractive index of said light propagating material and having a second thermal diffusion coefficient to the light propagating material larger than the first thermal diffusion coefficient under a predetermined temperature.
