Abstract
A method of fabricating an optical waveguide device has the steps of forming a Bragg grating by applying ultraviolet light to an optical waveguide to generate photoinduced refractive index changes, and adjusting characteristics of the Bragg grating by applying ultraviolet light for trimming to the optical waveguide. The Bragg grating forming step is executed by applying ultraviolet light to the optical waveguide through a phase mask, and the adjusting step is executed by applying ultraviolet light for trimming to the optical waveguide not through the phase mask.
