    Abstract: First and second branch waveguides (23-1, 23-2) constituting a Mach-Zehnder optical waveguide are formed on the surface of a substrate (21). A first grounding electrode (25-1), a signal electrode (24), and a second grounding electrode (25-2) are formed on a buffer layer (22). The second grounding electrode (25-2) is divided along the length of the optical waveguide and includes a groove (26) such that a modulating electrode consisting of a signal electrode (24), the first and second grounding electrodes (25-1, 25-2) are symmetrical with respect to the center (II-II) of the first and second branch optical waveguides. The ratio (d2/d1) between the intervals (d1, d2) of the first and second branch optical waveguides and the signal electrode is 3.5 to 7.5.

    Abstract: A light modulator of waveguide type (40) comprises electrooptic substrate (1), an optical waveguide (2) for guiding light wave, a traveling wave type signal electrode (3) for controlling the guided light, and a grounding electrode (4). A buffer layer (6), having a width W greater than the width omega of the traveling wave type signal electrode (3), is formed only under traveling wave type signal electrode (3), and the buffer layer is buried at least in part into the surface portion of the substrate (1).

    Abstract: A first branched optical waveguide and a second branched optical waveguide, to constitute a Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguide, are formed at the surface of a substrate. A first ground electrode, a signal electrode and a second ground electrode are provided on a buffer layer formed on the substrate. The second ground electrode is partially cut away and divided, to form a ditch therein, so that the modulating electrode composed of the signal electrode, the first and the second ground electrodes are substantially symmetrized on the center line between the first and the second optical waveguides. Then, the ratio (d2/d1) of the distance d2 between the signal electrode and the second branched optical waveguide to the distance d1 between the signal electrode and the first electrode is set within 3.5-7.5.
