Abstract: An optical modulator according to the present invention comprises: a substrate which has electro-optic effects; an optical waveguide which is provided in the substrate; an optical fiber which is bonded to an end of the optical waveguide; a fixation member which is provided on an end part of the optical fiber; and an optical adhesive layer which bonds the optical fiber and the substrate to each other. The end of the optical waveguide is arranged in an end face of the substrate; the optical adhesive layer optically couples an end face of the optical fiber and an end of the optical waveguide with each other, while bonding the optical fiber, the fixation member and the substrate with each other; and the surface roughness of a surface of the fixation member, wherein the surface faces the end face of the substrate, is different from the surface roughness of an end face of the substrate, wherein the end face faces the surface of the fixation member.

Abstract: Provided is an optical modulator module in which an occurrence of an error burst or an increase of an optical loss caused by a vapor phase transportation material can be effectively suppressed. The optical modulator module includes a substrate 1 that has a pyroelectric effect, an optical waveguide 2 that is formed on a principal surface of the substrate 1, a conductive film (not illustrated) that is formed on the substrate 1, and control electrodes (31 to 33) that control a light wave propagated through the optical waveguide 2. In the optical modulator module, the light wave is input to an end portion 21 of the optical waveguide (or is output from the end portion 21 of the optical waveguide) by a space optical system (not illustrated). Adsorption means 4 for adsorbing a vapor phase transportation material is disposed in the vicinity of the end portion 21 of the optical waveguide.
