ABSTRACT:
An optical device consisting of a core layer, a first clad layer in contact with the core layer, a second clad layer, third clad layer and at least one electrode for applying a certain voltage or supplying a certain current. The second clad layer is deposited on the third clad layer and the core layer is provided between the first clad layer and the second clad layer. The core layer, first clad layer, second clad layer and third clad layer consist of a material with a negative refractive index variation coefficient, and the third clad layer has a refractive index smaller than that of the second clad layer.
