A diffraction grating portion (12) is formed in an optical fiber (10), having a diameter of 125 .mu.m and serving to transmit light, along its optical axis. The optical fiber is concentrically surrounded by a lower coating portion (14) having an outer diameter of 300 .mu.m and consisting of a silicone resin. The lower coating portion is concentrically surrounded by a coating portion (16) having an outer diameter of 900 .mu.m and consisting of a liquid crystal polymer, e.g., polyester amide. The coating portion is further surrounded by an outermost coating portion (18) having an outer diameter of 1 mm and consisting of a UV curing resin colored for identification. Both the optical fiber (10) and the lower coating portion (14) have positive thermal expansion coefficients. In contrast to this, the coating portion (16) consisting of the liquid crystal polymer has a negative thermal expansion coefficient.

An optical signal, which is to become the subject of dispersion compensation, is split by optical combining/splitting unit 2, and each frequency component of the optical signal that is split is reflected by the corresponding reflective mirror 30 included in reflective mirror group 3 to apply a predetermined phase shift to the respective frequency components Each reflected frequency component is then combined using optical combining/splitting unit 2, to give dispersion compensated optical signal Furthermore, in regards to reflective mirror group 3, which is used to apply phase shift to each frequency component of an optical signal, each of the respective plurality of reflective mirrors 30 is made a movable mirror having a movable reflection position that reflects the frequency components. Through this, dispersion that develops in an optical signal may be compensated with favorable controllability and high accuracy. Therefore, the precision and controllability of dispersion compensation will become superior, and realized is a variable dispersion compensator having a miniaturized optical circuit, and an optical transmission system comprising such variable dispersion compensator,

This invention relates to a diffraction grating device having a refractive index modulation formed in an optical waveguide region in a predetermined region in the longitudinal direction of the optical waveguide. In the diffraction grating device, a refractive index modulation is formed in the core region in a predetermined region in the longitudinal direction of the optical waveguide. In this diffraction grating device, the optical period of the refractive index modulation is substantially constant, the phase of the refractive index modulation is inverted at a phase inversion portion, and the number of phase inversion portions is one or two. In this diffraction grating device, the absolute value of a parameter R (equation (22a)) is smaller than 0.25. According to this invention, a diffraction grating device capable of shortening the region where the refractive index modulation is formed and flattening the reflectance characteristic in the reflection wavelength band is provided.

The present invention concerns an optical waveguide device having a structure for effectively suppressing variation in optical characteristics due to temperature change without causing increase in device size, and a fabrication method thereof. The optical waveguide device has a structure in which a first main member having a positive coefficient of linear expansion is fixed to a sub member having a negative coefficient of linear expansion. The first main member is provided with an undercladding, a core functioning as an optical waveguide provided on a plane of the undercladding, and an overcladding provided so as to cover the core between the undercladding and the overcladding. The first main member is made, for example, of a silica glass or silicon based material and the core is doped with a dopant for increasing the refractive index. While covering the whole of at least one major surface of the first main member, the sub member is fixed to the major surface.
