Abstract

An optical waveguide is an optical waveguide including a semiconductor quantum well structure, the optical waveguide including a first region in which the semiconductor quantum well structure is not disordered and a second region in which the semiconductor quantum well structure is disordered. The first region has a first bandgap wavelength, the second region has a second bandgap wavelength, and a region in which the semiconductor quantum well structure is disordered in such a manner that a bandgap wavelength continuously decreases from the first bandgap wavelength to the second bandgap wavelength is provided between the first region and the second region.
