This invention discloses an optical waveguide having a hybrid core useful in the fabrication of a host of active and passive optical devices. The core is primarily inorganic glass having a lesser portion of polymer grafted therein. Preferably, the polymer has a substantially different thermo-optic coefficient. By appropriately selecting a polymer with a suitable thermo-optic coefficient a temperature stable waveguide can be fabricated. Active devices having a smaller section of polymer can be realized with heaters for varying the temperature and hence the refractive index of the polymer section.
