ABSTRACT:
An optical modulator whose cutoff frequency is not halved even in differential driving, as well as a mounting substrate of such an optical modulator and a driving method of such an optical modulator. An optical modulator manner that two electroabsorption EA modulators A and B are connected in series to each other via a transparent waveguide. When voltages are applied to the two EA modulators simultaneously, light that is input from an end face of the optical modulator is absorbed first by the EA modulator and then by the second EA modulator. Therefore, an extinction ratio that is two times larger than in a conventional optical modulator can be obtained. To prevent pulse superimposition in a modulated light waveform, one line may be made longer than another line so that a drive electrical signal reaches the second EA modulator with a delay. To mount the optical modulator, flip-chip mounting with a coupled coplanar substrate and gold balls or the like may be used.
