    摘要: An optical device includes a first layer, a second layer, two first waveguides arranged in a side by side manner in the first layer; two second waveguides arranged in a side by side manner in the second layer, and a third waveguide arranged between the first waveguides and between the second waveguides. The first waveguide includes a first tapered waveguide and a second tapered waveguide. The third waveguide includes a third tapered waveguide that is disposed side by side with the second tapered waveguides. The first tapered waveguide has a width that is gradually narrower as the first tapered waveguide is away from a joining point with the second tapered waveguide. The second tapered waveguide has a width that is gradually narrower as the second tapered waveguide is away from a joining point with the first tapered waveguide. The third tapered waveguide has a width that is gradually wider.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: An optical modulator includes a package that accommodates therein a first substrate and a second substrate different from the first substrate, and outside the package, a flexible circuit board. The first substrate has plural optical modulating units disposed thereon in parallel and each including a Mach-Zehnder optical waveguide. Plural first signal line paths corresponding to the optical modulating units are disposed on the second substrate. Plural second signal line paths corresponding to the optical modulating units are disposed on the flexible circuit board. Electrical lengths of the second signal line paths are different from one another. Electrical lengths of signal paths that span from input ends of the second signal line paths corresponding to the optical modulating units to base points on signal electrodes, via the first signal line paths, are equal to one another.

    摘要: An optical device includes a modulator and a tap coupler. The modulator includes an optical waveguide that is formed of a thin-film lithium niobate (LN) substrate and through which light passes, and an electrode that applies voltage to the optical waveguide, and modulates a phase of light that passes through the optical waveguide in accordance with an electric field in the optical waveguide, where the electric field corresponds to the voltage. The tap coupler includes at least a part formed of the thin-film LN substrate, and splits a part of the light that passes through an inside of the optical waveguide. The tap coupler includes a delayed interferometer that splits a part of the light that passes through the optical waveguide, at a split ratio corresponding to a phase difference of light that passes through an inside of the tap coupler from the optical waveguide.

    摘要: 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.
