    Abstract: Provided is an optical modulator capable of effectively dispersing and releasing heat generated by termination resistors, improving the reliability of a termination substrate including the termination resistors, and reducing influence of heat on an optical waveguide. In an optical modulator including an optical waveguide substrate on which an optical waveguide is formed, a signal electrode is provided on the optical waveguide substrate for applying an electric field, a termination resistor terminating the signal electrode, and a termination substrate on which the termination resistor is disposed, at least a plurality of the termination resistors are provided for a single termination substrate, and for preventing heat generated by the termination resistor from being concentrated on a local portion in the termination substrate or conducted to the optical waveguide substrate, a ground electrode provided on the termination substrate and electrically connected to the termination resistor is formed to be thicker than 0.1 μm.

    Abstract: An optical modulator with FPC and optical transmission device using the same are provided. This optical modulator includes a flexible printed circuit which electrically connects the optical modulator to a circuit board. The flexible printed circuit has a substantially quadrilateral shape. A pad is formed on the flexible printed circuit along one side of the substantially quadrilateral shape so as to be electrically connected to the circuit board. In order to release the mechanical stress applied onto the side or the end portion of the flexible printed circuit and/or to prevent propagation of distortion generated in the side or the end portion, the flexible printed circuit has: a cutout or a notch provided in a direction from a part of at least one side toward the inside of the flexible printed circuit; and/or a curved portion connecting at least two adjacent sides.

    Abstract: An optical waveguide element is provided to effectively reduce an optical absorption loss of waveguide light which may occur at an intersecting part between an optical waveguide and an electrode without causing deterioration in optical characteristics and degradation of long-term reliability of the optical waveguide element. The optical waveguide element includes an optical waveguide formed in a substrate, and an electrode controlling optical waves propagated in the optical waveguide and having an intersecting part intersecting the optical waveguide thereabove. A portion of a resin layer is provided between the optical waveguide and the electrode in a portion of the substrate including the intersecting part. A corner of the resin layer on a side of the electrode is constituted to be a curve in a cross section in an extending direction of the electrode.
