Optical device
Abstract:
An optical device includes: a substrate; an optical branching filter on the substrate and dividing input light into first and second input lights; first and second Mach-Zehnder optical modulators on the substrate and respectively modulating the first and second input lights; and an optical coupler on the substrate and combining light modulated by the first Mach-Zehnder optical modulator and light modulated by the second Mach-Zehnder optical modulator. Each of the first and second Mach-Zehnder optical modulator includes two optical waveguides, a phase modulation electrode applying a modulation voltage across the optical waveguides to change phases of light in the optical waveguides, and a feed line and a terminal line respectively connected to opposite ends of the phase modulation electrode to supply the modulation voltage to the phase modulation electrode. The feed lines and the terminal lines respectively extend to peripheral portions of the substrate.
