PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ureteral catheter capable of preventing a wound of a ureter caused by damage in peeling on the ureter.SOLUTION: A ureteral catheter 1 includes one or more luminal lumens including near infrared fluorescent pigment which emits near infrared fluorescent when emitting near infrared ray of wavelength of 500 nm to 1400 nm. The ureteral catheter 1 allows check of an extending state with a monitor 21 by irradiating from a light source 18 near infrared ray 17 with a specific wavelength having excellent transmissive characteristics for a biological body, and then receiving by a camera 19 near infrared fluorescent emitted from the near infrared fluorescent pigment.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical modulator that is able to restrict light loss to a low level even where a clad layer is thinned and that is able to be driven at a lower voltage.SOLUTION: An optical modulator comprises: a substrate (10); a lower electrode (20) formed on the upper surface of the substrate; a bottom clad layer (30) formed on the upper surface of the substrate and lower electrode and formed from porous sol-gel silica; a clad layer (40) formed on the upper surface of the bottom clad layer and formed from sol-gel silica; a slot waveguide (50) having a slot structure in which a low-refractive-index polymer layer (56) with an electro-optical effect is sandwiched between two high-refractive-index slot core layers (58) from above and below in the vertical direction of the substrate, and formed in the clad layer with a predetermined space kept from the boundary between the bottom clad layer and the clad layer; a buffer layer (60) formed on the upper surface of the slot waveguide; and an upper electrode (70) formed on the upper surface of the buffer layer. The upper electrode, slot waveguide, and lower electrode are arranged so as to coincide in a plane view.
