Abstract
Provided is an optical waveguide circuit avoiding the difficulty of the property compensation based on temperature control, compensated with respect to the property variations due to fabrication error, particularly paid attention in a silicon waveguide, and being low in power consumption and high in performances. The optical waveguide circuit includes a silicon (Si) substrate, a buried oxide film (BOX) layer formed on the Si substrate, and an SOI (Silicon on Insulator) layer, formed on the BOX layer, including an optical element utilizing the SOI layer as a main optical transmission medium. At least part of a waveguide of the optical element includes uniformly distributed and thermally unstable crystal defects.
