Disclosed is a thermo-optic tunable attenuator, which comprises a single mode channel optical waveguide, an optical waveguide of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure coupled with the single mode channel optical waveguide, the optical waveguide including two symmetric Y-branches, and two metal heating wires for applying power to one side of each of the two symmetric Y-branches, wherein the two metal heating wires are in a facing relationship with each other, wherein a refractive index of the optical waveguide is changed in response to a power applied to any one of the two metal heating wires.
