<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical waveguide that efficiently attenuates the clad mode and prevents it from reuniting with the basic mode, and to provide an optical element which uses this optical waveguide. <P>SOLUTION: This clad mode attenuation optical waveguide is composed by adding a light absorbent material to all or a part of the clad and adjusting the refraction index of the clad. Further, the FG optical element and the optical coupler are made by using this clad mode attenuation optical waveguide. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
