Abstract: An optical communication module includes: an optical modulator that includes an optical modulation element housed in a rectangular parallelepiped container; a driver circuit that inputs a high-frequency signal to the optical modulation element; and a housing that houses the optical modulator and the driver circuit. An electrical interface is provided on one lateral surface of the housing, and an optical interface is provided on another lateral surface, which is opposite to the lateral surface, of the housing. In the optical modulator, an end of a wiring substrate, which is configured to introduce the high-frequency signal to the optical modulation element, is led out from one short-side side of the rectangular parallelepiped container, and the driver circuit is disposed between the short-side side of the optical modulator and the electrical interface.

Abstract: An optical waveguide device includes a substrate in which an optical waveguide is formed. The optical waveguide has a Y-branched structure in which light beams propagating through a main waveguide are branched into two parts, and a three-branched structure in which the optical waveguide is branched into three waveguides including the main waveguide and two sub-waveguides on both sides of the main waveguide at a front stage of the Y-branched structure. The main waveguide includes a linear waveguide portion in which a waveguide width is constant and a tapered waveguide portion in which the waveguide width gradually increases between the three-branched structure and the Y-branched structure.

Abstract: To perform a stable bias control by improving detection accuracy of intensity of an dither signal component, which is detected by a photo detector, in an optical modulator including a bias electrode to which a dither signal is applied, and a photo detector that monitors an optical signal propagating through the inside of an optical waveguide in the same substrate. The optical modulator includes: a substrate having a piezoelectric effect (102); an optical waveguide (116a or the like) that is formed on the substrate; a bias electrode (158a or the like) that controls an optical wave that propagates through the optical waveguide; and a photo detector (168a or the like) that is formed on the substrate, and monitors an optical signal that propagates along the optical waveguide. At least one suppressing unit (190 or the like), which suppresses a surface acoustic wave that propagates from the bias electrode to the photo detector, is disposed between a region in which the bias electrode is formed and a portion in which the photo detector is disposed on the substrate.

Abstract: Modulation electrodes, bias electrodes, and bias electrodes are disposed in this order in a light wave-travelling direction in an optical modulation region modulating light having a wavelength. On the other hand, in an optical modulation region modulating light having a wavelength, the bias electrodes, the bias electrodes, and the modulation electrodes are disposed in this order in the light wave-travelling direction. That is, an order of the modulation electrodes and the bias electrodes in a longitudinal direction of a substrate is changed for each of the wavelengths.

Abstract: An optical waveguide element module decreases discontinuity of electrical connection between an optical waveguide element and a relay substrate, without wire-bonding using long wires. An edge shape L of the signal electrode side of the ground electrode is surrounded by two shapes (L1, L2). Shape L1 is obtained by connecting an input end of the control electrode to a location where a space between the ground electrodes becomes W2. Shape L2 is such that an impedance change of the control electrode from the input end to the location at which the space between the ground electrodes becomes W2 is constant or continuously changes. A space between grounding wires connecting the ground electrodes of the element and ground lines of the relay substrate is larger than a space between the ground electrodes. In an embodiment, a terminal substrate and an output end of the control electrode are connected.
