Abstract

See full text

An object is to provide an optical device capable of relaxing a manufacturing condition for an optical waveguide used in the optical device. An optical device 500 is provided with an optical waveguide 200 including a core and a cladding optically joined together, and a temperature controller 600 that controls temperature of the optical waveguide, wherein the optical waveguide includes the core and the cladding formed such that a normalized frequency specified for light propagating through the optical waveguide changes across a cutoff frequency of a guided mode determined from a structure of the optical waveguide in a temperature range in which a refractive index of the core is higher than a refractive index of the clad. The temperature controller controls the temperature of the optical waveguide over a temperature range across temperature at which the normalized frequency equals to the cutoff frequency.
