    Abstract: An optical device includes a first edge coupler that is connected to a polarization multiplexer-demultiplexer and that makes contact with an end face and a second edge coupler that is connected to an optical hybrid circuit and that makes contact with the end face. The optical device includes a first taper portion that directs light from the end face and that is contained in the first edge coupler and a second taper portion that directs light from the end face and that is contained in the second edge coupler. The second taper portion has a structure in which a taper angle of the second taper portion with respect to the end face is smaller than a taper angle of the first taper portion with respect to the end face.

    Abstract: An optical device includes a first layer, a second layer, two first waveguides arranged in a side by side manner in the first layer; two second waveguides arranged in a side by side manner in the second layer, and a third waveguide arranged between the first waveguides and between the second waveguides. The first waveguide includes a first tapered waveguide and a second tapered waveguide. The third waveguide includes a third tapered waveguide that is disposed side by side with the second tapered waveguides. The first tapered waveguide has a width that is gradually narrower as the first tapered waveguide is away from a joining point with the second tapered waveguide. The second tapered waveguide has a width that is gradually narrower as the second tapered waveguide is away from a joining point with the first tapered waveguide. The third tapered waveguide has a width that is gradually wider.

    Abstract: An optical modulator includes a package that accommodates therein a first substrate and a second substrate different from the first substrate, and outside the package, a flexible circuit board. The first substrate has plural optical modulating units disposed thereon in parallel and each including a Mach-Zehnder optical waveguide. Plural first signal line paths corresponding to the optical modulating units are disposed on the second substrate. Plural second signal line paths corresponding to the optical modulating units are disposed on the flexible circuit board. Electrical lengths of the second signal line paths are different from one another. Electrical lengths of signal paths that span from input ends of the second signal line paths corresponding to the optical modulating units to base points on signal electrodes, via the first signal line paths, are equal to one another.
