ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an optical device which can lower the drive voltage which is used as one of the parameters for performance evaluation of the optical device. The optical device includes a substrate having first and second ridges, first and second grooves, a third groove, and first and second banks formed thereon, a Mach-Zehnder optical waveguide formed on the substrate, and an electrode set including first and second signal electrodes and a grounding electrode for controlling light which propagates in the optical wveguide. The grounding electrode extends to the first groove adjacent to the first bank and the second groove adjacent to the second bank. The optical device is applied, for example, to a transmission side apparatus for a long distance optical transmission system.
