Abstract: A core layer of an optical element includes a second conversion portion that converts a polarization mode of light from a TE1 mode to a TE0 mode. The second conversion portion includes: a splitting portion that splits the light in the TE1 mode incident from the first conversion portion into first split light in the TE0 mode and second split light in the TE0 mode which are in opposite phases; a coupling portion that couples the first split light that has propagated through a first branch waveguide and the second split light that has propagated through a second branch waveguide to emit the light in the TE0 mode; and a phase adjustment unit that adjusts a phase difference between the first split light and the second split light. The first branch waveguide and the second branch waveguide are arranged in a second direction.

Abstract: An optical modulator is a Mach-Zehnder-type optical modulator having a substrate and an optical waveguide layer including a lithium niobate film formed on the substrate. The optical waveguide layer includes a plurality of flat portions and n ridge portions arranged between the flat portions to be adjacent, where n is two or more. Each of the n ridge portions includes a main waveguide to which visible light is input, a first multimode interference waveguide through which the main waveguide is branched into a first and a second optical branch waveguide, and a second multimode interference waveguide through which the first and the second optical branch waveguide are coupled to form a coupling waveguide. Visible light beams having different wavelengths are input to the n ridge portions. The first multimode interference waveguide and the second multimode interference waveguide have shorter lengths when input light having a longer wavelength is transmitted.

Abstract: An optical element includes a mode converter that converts a polarization mode of visible light. The mode converter includes a conversion unit that converts a polarization mode of the visible light from a TM0 mode to a TE1 mode, and a splitting unit that splits the visible light in the TE1 mode into a first split light in the TE0 mode and a second split light in the TE0 mode, and adjusts a phase difference between the first split light and the second split light. The splitting unit includes a first branch wave guide through which the first split light propagates and a second branch wave guide through which the second split light propagates. An optical path length of the first split light in the first branch wave guide and an optical path length of the second split light in the second branch wave guide are different from each other.
