Abstract: The optical absorption loss of the optical waveguide and the signal propagation loss of the high-frequency signal electrode are both reduced at a plurality of intersections between the convex optical waveguide and the high-frequency signal electrode, thereby achieving good operating characteristics. An optical waveguide device includes a substrate on which optical waveguides are formed, and an electrode that is formed on the substrate and has intersections crossing over the optical waveguides, in which the optical waveguides are configured by protruding portions extending on the substrate, and an intermediate layer made of a resin is provided at the adjacent intersections along the electrode to fill spaces between the protruding portions along the electrode and covers top of the protruding portions.
