Abstract: An optical modulator is a Mach-Zehnder-type optical modulator having a substrate and an optical waveguide layer including a lithium niobate film formed on the substrate. The optical waveguide layer includes a plurality of flat portions and n ridge portions arranged between the flat portions to be adjacent, where n is two or more. Each of the n ridge portions includes a main waveguide to which visible light is input, a first multimode interference waveguide through which the main waveguide is branched into a first and a second optical branch waveguide, and a second multimode interference waveguide through which the first and the second optical branch waveguide are coupled to form a coupling waveguide. Visible light beams having different wavelengths are input to the n ridge portions. The first multimode interference waveguide and the second multimode interference waveguide have shorter lengths when input light having a longer wavelength is transmitted.
