    Abstract: An optical modulator includes a first coupler that branches an input light into two and outputs a first output light and a second output light; a first Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) that modulates the intensity of the first output light from the first coupler and outputs a third output light; a second MZI that modulates the intensity of the second output light from the first coupler and outputs a fourth output light; a second coupler that combines the third output light from the first MZI and the fourth output light from the second MZI, branches a combined light into two, and outputs a fifth output light and a sixth output light. The interaction length of a branch of the first coupler and that of the second coupler are set such that the wavelength dependence of the splitting ratio of the first coupler is inversely related to that of the second coupler.

    Abstract: A 90-degree hybrid circuit includes a first and a second waveguide in each of which signal light split by a first coupler propagates. The circuit includes a third and a fourth waveguide in each of which local oscillator light split by a second coupler propagates, and a third coupler that multiplexes the signal light propagated through the first waveguide and the local oscillator light propagated through the third waveguide. The circuit includes a fourth coupler that multiplexes the signal light propagated through the second waveguide and the local oscillator light propagated through the fourth waveguide, and a phase adjustor that adjusts a phase of light propagating through at least one waveguide from among the first to the fourth waveguides. A first total value of optical lengths of the first and the fourth waveguide is shorter than a second total value of optical lengths of the second and the third waveguide.

    Abstract: An optical device includes an optical element and an optical fiber block. The optical element includes an optical waveguide, a first end face on which an end face of the optical waveguide is disposed, and a second end face protruding from the first end face. The optical fiber block includes an optical fiber, a third end face on which an end face of the optical fiber is disposed, and a fourth end face recessed from the third end face. In the optical device, in a state where the second end face and the fourth end face are fixed so as to be in contact with each other, the first end face and the third end face are connected by butt coupling to optically couple the end face of the optical waveguide and the end face of the optical fiber.

    Abstract: An optical 90-degree hybrid includes two splitters, two combiners and four arm waveguides that connect output ports of the splitters and input ports of the combiners. Each of the splitters, the arm waveguides, and the combiners is a part of an optical waveguide. The optical waveguide is configured so that the phase error generated in the splitters due to wavelength change is suppressed by the phase error generated in the arm waveguides due to the wavelength change. The optical waveguide is further configured so that the phase error generated in the splitters due to deviation of a structure parameter from a certain value (e.g., design value) is suppressed by the phase error generated in the arm waveguides due to the deviation.
