ABSTRACT:
An optical modulator is provided which suppresses a radiation mode of a microwave generated in a connection substrate or a termination substrate from entering a signal electrode of the optical modulator and suppresses modulation properties from being degraded.The optical modulator includes an optical modulation element (1) having a substrate with an electro-optic effect, an optical waveguide formed on the substrate, and a modulating electrode (or a signal electrode (2)) for modulating light passing through the optical waveguide; and a connection substrate (4), arranged outside the substrate, for supplying the optical modulation element with a microwave signal operating the optical modulation element. A signal input terminal (22) and a signal output terminal (23) are formed on the connection substrate (20). A recombination suppression unit that suppresses a radiation mode (24) of the microwave signal input to the signal input terminal (22) from being recombined with the signal output terminal (23) is provided on the connection substrate.
