Abstract
A wavelength converting element having improved wavelength converting efficiency and having a beam shape which facilitates coupling to a fiber or the like, is manufactured at low cost. After a waveguide is formed by carrying out proton exchange at a lower substrate in which inverted domains are formed, an upper substrate is laminated to the lower substrate so as to oppose the waveguide. Thereafter, a heat treatment is carried out and protons diffuse into the upper substrate and the lower substrate such that the waveguide is made to be a waveguide whose refractive index distribution is symmetrical, and simultaneously, the upper substrate and the lower substrate are joined by the heat treatment.
