摘要: An electro-optic device is provided with a substrate, an optical waveguide formed of a lithium niobate film with a ridge shape on the substrate, and an electrode that applies an electric field to the optical waveguide. The optical waveguide includes a first waveguide section provided at least in an electric field application region applied with the electric field and having a thickness of 1 μm or larger and a second waveguide section provided in a region other than the electric field application region and having a thickness of 0.3 μm or larger and less than 1 μm.

摘要: An optical modulator includes an optical modulator chip configured to optically modulate an optical signal using an electrical signal input thereto; and a relay substrate configured to relay and couple the electrical signal to the optical modulator chip. The optical modulator chip includes a signal electrode and a ground electrode for the electrical signal, formed along a waveguide for the optical signal. One end of the optical modulator chip is arranged to face the relay substrate. An electrode connection portion coupling the electrical signal to the relay substrate by wire is provided at the one end. A distance between a tip of one end of the signal electrode in the electrode connection portion and the end of the optical modulator chip is less than a distance between a tip of an end of the ground electrode in the electrode connection portion and the end of the optical modulator chip.

摘要: An optical modulator includes: a ferroelectric substrate in which an input optical waveguide, a pair of branched optical waveguides, and an output optical waveguide are formed; a signal electrode that is formed in a vicinity of at least one of the pair of branched optical waveguides; a first protection member that is attached to an input end of the ferroelectric substrate in which the input optical waveguide is formed; and a second protection member that is attached to an output end of the ferroelectric substrate in which the output optical waveguide is formed. The first protection member and the second protection member have a Mohs hardness that is less than or equal to a Mohs hardness of the ferroelectric substrate, and are formed of a glass material that does not have a pyroelectric effect.

摘要: An optical module includes a driver that is provided on a board and generates an electrical signal according to a data signal, and an optical modulator that is connected to an optical fiber and provided on the board and that modulates light emitted from the optical fiber using the electrical signal generated by the driver. The optical module has a cut-out portion that is formed by cutting out part of its outer shape and that accommodates the driver so that the driver overlaps the optical fiber when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the board.

摘要: An optical module includes a substrate on which an optical waveguide is formed, and an optical fiber assembly. The optical fiber assembly includes an optical fiber, a translucent member, and a mirror portion. The translucent member includes a joint surface joined to an end surface of the substrate at an end of the optical waveguide, and is attached to a distal end of the optical fiber. The mirror portion is formed on the translucent member, reflects light emitted from the distal end of the optical fiber in a direction different from a traveling direction of the light, and collects the reflected light into the end of the optical waveguide through the joint surface.
