    摘要: In an optical component configured to fix to a mount an optical device chip in which a plurality of waveguide type optical devices having different thermal expansion coefficients are butt-jointed, deterioration in reliability due to thermal stress is suppressed. The optical component (300) comprises an optical device chip (310) including an LN waveguide (311), a first PLC waveguide (312) connected to an end of the LN waveguide (311), a second PLC waveguide (313) connected to the other end of the LN waveguide (311), and a fiber alignment member (314) connected to the first PLC waveguide (312), a mount (320) on which the optical device chip (310) is mounted, and optical fibers (330) aligned to the fiber alignment member (314). Each of connection faces between the first PLC waveguide (312) and the fiber alignment member (314) is configured as an tilted structure, and each of connection faces between the LN waveguide (311), and the first and second PLC waveguides (312, 313) is configured as a right-angled structure. In the right-angled structure, the connection faces are connected by an adhesive having a lower Young's modulus than that of an adhesive used on the connection faces of the tilted structure.

    摘要: In a nest MZI modulator in which each arm includes a child MZI, the power consumption is reduced. The hybrid integrated-type nest MZI modulator of the embodiment 1a is configured so that, instead of placing a relative phase adjusting section in a parent MZI, a bias electrode Bias 90° in which an electric field is applied in the same direction to the polarization direction in both of the upper and lower arms is placed in each child MZI (see FIG. 4B). The bias electrode Bias 90° provided in each child MZI constitute the entirety of a relative phase adjusting section. The optical signals are subjected to a phase change after the output from the child MZI (see FIG. 1A), because such relative phase adjusting section can subject the optical signals of the upper and lower arms of the child MZI to a shift change in the same direction, respectively.
