    Abstract: An optical transmitter-receiver includes an optical integrated device in which at least an optical modulator and an optical detector are integrated as optical devices over the same substrate and an insulating layer is provided between the optical modulator and the substrate and between the optical detector and the substrate, and an electronic circuit chip that is connected to the optical integrated device and includes an electronic circuit including a ground wiring line. The optical integrated device includes a shield electrode between the optical modulator and the optical detector, and the shield electrode is provided sandwiching the insulating layer with the substrate to configure a capacitance and is connected to the ground wiring line of the electronic circuit chip. By the optical transmitter-receiver, crosstalk through the capacitance between the optical modulator and the substrate, the substrate, and the capacitance between the optical detector and the substrate can be suppressed to suppress deterioration of the reception characteristic.

    Abstract: Provided is a SIS-type electro-optic modulator capable of realizing highly efficient optical coupling with a rib-type Si waveguide, improving modulation efficiency, realizing reduction of electric capacity and lead-out resistance in stacked semiconductor layers. The modulator includes a SIS junction constituted by first and second semiconductor layers having different type of conductivity and a dielectric layer interposed therebetween, wherein an electrical signal from electrodes coupled to the first and second semiconductor layers causes free carriers accumulate, deplete or invert on both sides of the dielectric layer, thereby modulating a free carrier concentration felt by an optical signal electric filed, light having a polarization component orthogonal to the width direction of the SIS junction is incident on the dielectric layer, and the width of the SIS junction is λ/neff or less (λ is the wavelength of the incident light and neff is an effective refractive index of the modulator to the incident light).
