    Abstract: An optical device includes a substrate, a layered structure provided on the substrate and including an intermediate layer, an optical waveguide formed of a thin crystal film having an electro-optic effect, and a buffer layer stacked in this order, and an electrode provided on or above the buffer layer and configured to apply a direct current voltage to the optical waveguide. The resistivity of the intermediate layer is higher than the resistivity of the buffer layer.

    Abstract: An optical module includes: a housing formed of a conductor that is insertable and removable with respect to an opening portion of an apparatus; a substrate arranged in an internal space of the housing; and a blocking unit that divides the internal space in which the substrate is arranged into two spaces. The blocking unit includes: a first conductor pattern formed on one surface of the substrate; a second conductor pattern formed on another surface of the substrate; a plurality of vias that penetrate through the substrate and connect the first conductor pattern and the second conductor pattern; a first auxiliary member formed of a conductor that comes into contact with the first conductor pattern and the housing; and a second auxiliary member formed of a conductor that comes into contact with the second conductor pattern and the housing.

    Abstract: An optical device has a silicon (Si) substrate, a ground electrode, a lithium niobate (LN) optical waveguide, and a signal electrode. The ground electrode is an electrode that is at ground potential and that is layered on the Si substrate. The LN optical waveguide is an optical waveguide that is formed by a thin film LN substrate that is layered on the ground electrode. The signal electrode is an electrode that is disposed at a position opposite the ground electrode with the LN optical waveguide interposed therebetween and that applies a high-frequency signal.

    Abstract: An optical device includes an optical modulator formed on an optical IC chip. A shape of the IC chip is a rectangle or a parallelogram. The optical modulator includes an interferometer, wiring patterns, a first polymer pattern, and a second polymer pattern. The interferometer includes an optical waveguide that is formed in a direction from a first edge to a second edge of the optical IC chip. The wiring patterns are formed parallel to the optical waveguide. The first polymer pattern is formed along the first edge or the second edge. The second polymer pattern is connected to the first polymer pattern and formed on the optical waveguide without overlapping the wiring patterns.

    Abstract: An optical device includes: a substrate; an optical waveguide that forms a Mach-Zehnder interferometer; a signal electrode; and a ground electrode. The optical waveguide is placed between the signal electrode and the ground electrode. An electric field is generated in a direction along a surface of the substrate when a voltage is applied between the signal electrode and the ground electrode. The optical waveguide includes a first waveguide through which input light propagates, a curved waveguide which is optically coupled to the first waveguide, and a second waveguide which is optically coupled to the curved waveguide. The signal electrode includes first and second electrodes that are respectively placed near the first and second waveguides. An electric signal is supplied to the first electrode, and an inverted electric signal is supplied to the second electrode.

    Abstract: An optical communication module includes: a circuit board; optical communication devices that are provided on an upper surface side of the circuit board; a case that accommodates the circuit board and the optical communication devices; and a heatsink that is attached to the case. The optical communication devices include a first device and a second device. The first device is located closer to an inlet opening for cooling air for cooling the heatsink than the second device is. A height from the circuit board to a top of the first device is greater than a height from the circuit board to a top of the second device. The heatsink is not equipped with a cooling fin in a first region where the first device is provided, and the heatsink is equipped with a cooling fin in a second region where the second device is provided.
