Abstract:
An optical modulator has a dielectric buffer layer extending over an optical waveguide and extending under an electrode which applies an electric field through the dielectric buffer layer to the optical waveguide for causing the optical waveguide to vary in refractive index profile in linear-proportion to an intensity of the electric field thereby causing a phase shift of a light which is on propagation in the optical waveguide, wherein the dielectric buffer layer varies in thickness whereby an overlap integral of a profile of the electric field and an optical mode field profile at a thinner portion of the dielectric buffer layer is larger than that at a thicker portion of the dielectric buffer layer, and whereby a difference of an effective microwave refractive index from an optical refractive index at the thicker portion is smaller than that at the thinner portion.
