The invention provides an optical waveguide for enabling the reduction of a coupling loss caused by difference in the size of a mode field diameter between optical waveguide modes different in the mode field diameter and a coupling loss caused by reflection on a boundary caused by the difference of media and an optical device using it. Structure provided with a mode field diameter converter provided with an antireflection part required to reduce a coupling loss between a microoptical circuit and a single mode optical fiber is integrally produced using effective refractive index control based upon photonic crystal structure.
