To provide a light-amplifying glass capable of increasing absorption of Yb3+. A light-amplifying glass to be used for amplifying light having a wavelength of 1.0 to 1.2 μm, which comprises, as represented by mol % based on the following oxides, from 30 to 55% of Bi2O3, from 25 to 50% of either one, or both in total, of SiO2 and B2O3, from 12 to 27% of either one, or both in total, of Al2O3 and Ga2O3, from 0 to 4% of La2O3 and from 0.1 to 4% of Yb2O3 and which contains substantially no Er2O3. An optical waveguide having such a light-amplifying glass as a core.
