    摘要: In an optical modulation element using a thinly processed substrate, cracking of the substrate during electrical connection is prevented, and poor connection or a reduction in manufacturing yield is prevented. An optical waveguide element includes an optical substrate on which an optical waveguide and a conductor pattern are formed, and a support substrate that supports the optical substrate, in which the conductor pattern includes at least one electrical connection area defined as a range in which electrical connection is performed, the optical substrate has a substrate removal portion in which a material of the optical substrate has been removed to penetrate through the optical substrate at a portion corresponding to the electrical connection area, and at least a part of the electrical connection area is formed on the support substrate via the substrate removal portion.

    摘要: A method of roughening the upper surface of the slab waveguide includes a method of locally forming roughness using an electron beam and a method of roughening the upper surface via etching. As an etching condition for the rough surface, processing is performed under a condition in which roughness is generated compared to a processing condition for the rib top portion. Particularly, since the surface can be simply locally roughened by etching, the rough surface can be formed much more simply than that of the unnecessary light beam removing unit in Patent Literature No. 1. Roughness of the rough surface is preferably 10 nm or larger in arithmetic average roughness Ra. Roughness of an upper surface of the rib type optical waveguide is normally set to 1 nm or less

    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical modulator in which propagation loss related to transmission of a high-frequency signal is reduced. An optical modulator, in which an electro-optical conversion element E/OC and a driver circuit DRV for driving the electro-optical conversion element are housed in the same case CA, includes: a multiplexer MUX that converts an input modulation signal, which is input from an outside of the case, into an output modulation signal having a higher frequency than the input modulation signal, and supplies the output modulation signal to the driver circuit, in which the multiplexer is housed in the case CA.

    摘要: To provide an optical waveguide device in which damage to a thin plate, particularly damage to an optical waveguide, is prevented. An optical waveguide device includes: a thin plate 1 that has an electro-optic effect and that has a thickness of equal to or thinner than 10 μm, an optical waveguide 2 being formed on the thin plate; and a reinforcing substrate that supports the thin plate, in which the thin plate 1 has a rectangular shape in a plan view, a dissimilar element layer 3, in which an element different from an element constituting the thin plate is disposed in the thin plate, is formed on at least a portion between an outer periphery of the thin plate and the optical waveguide 2, and a total length over which a cleavage plane of the thin plate traverses a region where the dissimilar element layer is formed, is equal to or longer than 5% of a width of the thin plate in a short side direction.

    摘要: An optical modulator includes an optical modulation element including an optical waveguide formed on a substrate and a housing that accommodates the optical modulation element, the housing has a bottom surface wall having a quadrilateral shape in a plan view, first and second long side walls that are connected to two opposite edges of the bottom surface wall, and first and second short side walls that are shorter than the first and second long side walls and are connected to two other opposite edges of the bottom surface wall. An average wall thickness of the second long side wall is equal to or larger than an average wall thickness of the first long side wall. At least one of the first and second short side walls has an average thickness that is thinner than the average thickness of the first long side wall.
