PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure accuracy in control of each DC bias in at least a pair of optical modulation parts by preventing an adverse effect of the DC bias applied to one modulation part while controlling the bias point of the other optical modulator. SOLUTION: In an optical modulator comprising a substrate having an electrooptical effect, an optical waveguide 4 formed on the substrate, at least a pair of optical modulation parts 2A and 1B disposed in parallel to modulate optical waves by applying a modulation signal to the optical waveguide, and a multiplexing part multiplexing the optical waves modulated by the pair of optical modulation parts 2A and 2B, each DC bias in the pair of optical modulation parts 2A and 2B is controlled. The DC bias applied to one optical modulation part 2A is changed, and a low frequency signal is superimposed to the other optical modulation part 2B, thereby detecting a change in light quantity of the multiplexed optical wave. Based on the detected change, the DC bias of the one optical modulation part 2A is controlled. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an optical member, which is used for optical communication equipment to filter out light of specified wavelength of light from an optical fiber and reflects a portion of the light, from curving. SOLUTION: The optical member 10 is in a flat plate shape formed by sandwiching an optical thin film 11 between substrates 12 and 13, which have mechanical strength. Thus, the optical thin film 11 is sandwiched between the substrates 12 and 13 to correct stress due to a difference in thermal expansion, thereby preventing the optical member from curving.
