摘要: An optical modulator includes a substrate and an optical waveguide group. The optical waveguide group includes a pair of relay optical waveguides, a pair of first Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides, and a pair of second Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides. The pair of the first Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides are connected to the pair of the relay optical waveguides and includes input ends arranged at positions that deviate from each other in a longitudinal direction of the substrate. The pair of the second Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides are provided on a pair of branched waveguides of each of the first Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides and includes input ends arranged at symmetric positions with respect to a straight line that passes through an input end serving as a branch point of the branched waveguides and that extends in the longitudinal direction of the substrate.

摘要: An optical device includes a thin film Lithium Niobate (LN) layer, a first optical waveguide, and a second optical waveguide. The thin film LN layer is an X-cut or a Y-cut LN layer. The first optical waveguide is an optical waveguide that is formed on the thin film LN layer along a direction that is substantially perpendicular to a Z direction of a crystal axis of the thin film LN layer. The second optical waveguide is an optical waveguide that is routed and connected to the first optical waveguide. At least a part of a core of the first optical waveguide is made thicker than a core of the second optical waveguide.
