    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to suppress deterioration in a drift characteristic by removing unnecessary light propagating through a substrate. Furthermore, an optical waveguide device that can also suppress a propagation loss of a high-frequency signal is provided. An optical waveguide device of the present invention is an optical waveguide device including an optical waveguide 10 formed on a substrate 1, and an electrode (SE1, GE1) disposed on the substrate, in which a first underlayer 21 of a first material formed on an upper surface of the substrate 1 and a second underlayer 20 of a second material different from the first material formed on an upper surface of the first underlayer are disposed in at least a part of a region on the substrate in which the electrode is formed, and the electrode is formed on an upper side of the second underlayer.

    Abstract: An optical device includes a rib optical waveguide formed on a substrate, a P doped region formed in one of slab regions of the rib optical waveguide, an N doped region formed in the other one of the slab regions of the rib optical waveguide, a first electrode connected to the P doped region, a second electrode connected to the N doped region, and an optical absorption structure. The optical absorption structure implements optical absorption of signal light passing through the rib optical waveguide according to an electric current that flows between the first electrode and the second electrode, and makes, in the optical absorption, the signal light passing through an optical input portion of the rib optical waveguide lower in optical attenuation rate than the signal light passing through at least part of the rib optical waveguide, the part excluding the optical input portion.
