ABSTRACT:
An optical waveguide device is disclosed wherein the modulation efficiency for a driving voltage is improved. The optical waveguide device includes a substrate having an electro-optic effect, an optical waveguide formed on the substrate, an electrode section adapted to supply an electric field for carrying out phase modulation synchronized with a clock signal to the optical waveguide, and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer connected to the downstream side of the optical waveguide and including two branching waveguides having optical lengths different from each other.
