Abstract: An optical module includes: a modulator containing an InP-based semiconductor material, the modulator including a modulation signal providing unit configured to modulate input light; and an optical integrated circuit optically coupled to the modulator, the optical integrated circuit integrating a plurality of waveguides and a plurality of optical elements including a silicon-based semiconductor material. The optical integrated circuit is configured to output light passed through any one of the waveguides or any one of the optical elements to the modulator, receive modulation light generated by the modulator that modulates the light, and output the modulation light passed through any one of other waveguides or any one of other optical elements.
