Abstract
A band-pass filter formed in an optical waveguide, provided with a diffraction grating group having a period .LAMBDA. of refractive index fluctuation changing in an axial direction with substantially a constant changing width .DELTA.n, comprises two periodic refractive index variable areas having periodes .LAMBDA. different from each other; a zero area, disposed therebetween, having substantially a constant refractive index; and boundary areas, disposed between the zero area and the respective periodic refractive index variable areas, in which the changing width of refractive index monotonously changes between 0 and .DELTA.n.
