    Abstract: An optical waveguide element includes a substrate and an optical waveguide that is disposed on the substrate. The optical waveguide has an effective refractive index change portion in which an effective refractive index of the optical waveguide related to a fundamental mode A parallel to a plane of polarization of a light wave propagated through the optical waveguide changes according to propagation of the light wave. In the effective refractive index change portion, a cross-sectional shape of the optical waveguide which is perpendicular to a propagation direction of the light wave is set such that the effective refractive index of the optical waveguide related to the fundamental mode A is higher than an effective refractive index of the optical waveguide related to another fundamental mode B perpendicular to the fundamental mode A.

    Abstract: An optical waveguide element includes: a substrate on which an optical waveguide is formed; and an electrode that is formed on the substrate and controls a light wave propagating through the optical waveguide. The optical waveguide includes a protruding portion extending on the substrate, and the electrode includes a base layer made of Nb, and an upper layer formed on the base layer, the base layer being formed between the substrate and the upper layer. The occurrence of loss in propagating light is effectively suppressed due to the existence of the electrode that controls the propagating light in the optical waveguide element using the protruding optical waveguide
