Composite optical waveguide, variable-wavelength laser, and method of oscillating laser
A composite optical waveguide 1 includes a first optical waveguide 9 comprising a silica-based core and a second optical waveguide 11 comprising an Si-based core. The second optical waveguide 11 is joined to the first optical waveguide 9. The length of the first optical waveguide 9 corresponds to a permissible propagation loss of the second optical waveguide 11. The second optical waveguide 11 includes a sharply curved portion 13 having a radius smaller than the minimum bend radius of the first optical waveguide 9.
