Abstract
Disclosed is an optical waveguide having a specific dopant distribution capable of reducing a deformation thereof and existence of residual stresses therein, thereby involving no birefrigence. A method for fabricating the optical waveguide is also disclosed. The optical waveguide includes a substrate, a lower clad layer doped with a dopant in a content varying continuously in a thickness direction of the lower clad layer, so that the lower clad layer exhibits a refractive index distribution varying in the thickness direction thereof, and a core layer formed over the lower clad layer.
