ABSTRACT:
An optical modulator of the Mach-Zehnder type including electrodes disposed above a substrate having a pair of linear portions of an optical waveguide includes a signal electrode to which modulating signals are applied; first and second earth electrodes; and a bias electrode to which a bias signal for controlling an operating point of the modulating signals is applied. The earth electrodes are disposed at either side of the signal electrode disposed above one of the linear portion, and the first earth electrode is disposed above the other linear portion. The bias electrode is disposed adjacent to the first earth electrode on a side opposite to the signal electrode. The bias electrode is disposed on a surface of the substrate, and a buffer layer is formed on the bias electrode. The first earth electrode has a ladder shape having the bias electrode interposed between the two long portions of the ladder.
