    Abstract: An optical device includes an X-cut substrate, and a first waveguide and a second waveguide each being formed on the substrate and having a folding structure. The optical device includes a first signal electrode to generate a first electric field, and a second signal electrode to generate a second electric field with a reverse phase as compared to the first field. The first waveguide includes a first waveguide on an outward side to which the first field is applied from the first signal electrode, and a first waveguide on a return side to which the second field is applied from the second signal electrode. The second waveguide includes a second waveguide on the outward side to which the first field is applied from the first signal electrode, and a second waveguide on the return side to which the second field is applied from the second signal electrode.

    Abstract: An optical modulator includes a substrate and an optical waveguide group. The optical waveguide group includes a pair of relay optical waveguides, a pair of first Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides, and a pair of second Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides. The pair of the first Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides are connected to the pair of the relay optical waveguides and includes input ends arranged at positions that deviate from each other in a longitudinal direction of the substrate. The pair of the second Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides are provided on a pair of branched waveguides of each of the first Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides and includes input ends arranged at symmetric positions with respect to a straight line that passes through an input end serving as a branch point of the branched waveguides and that extends in the longitudinal direction of the substrate.

    Abstract: An optical modulator includes: a ferroelectric substrate in which an input optical waveguide, a pair of branched optical waveguides, and an output optical waveguide are formed; a signal electrode that is formed in a vicinity of at least one of the pair of branched optical waveguides; a first protection member that is attached to an input end of the ferroelectric substrate in which the input optical waveguide is formed; and a second protection member that is attached to an output end of the ferroelectric substrate in which the output optical waveguide is formed. The first protection member and the second protection member have a Mohs hardness that is less than or equal to a Mohs hardness of the ferroelectric substrate, and are formed of a glass material that does not have a pyroelectric effect.

    Abstract: An optical device includes a substrate having an electrooptical effect, and including an optical waveguide that guides light and a reflection groove having a bottom face that reflects light output from the optical waveguide; and a light-receiving element positioned above the reflection groove and fixed to the substrate. The light output from the optical waveguide into the reflection groove is reflected by the bottom face of the reflection groove while traveling through a space inside the reflection groove and is incident to the light-receiving element.
