ABSTRACT:
It is provided a structure capable of reducing the loss of incident light propagating in a three-dimensional optical waveguide in a optical waveguide substrate having a ridge type optical waveguide. An optical waveguide substrate has a ferroelectric layer3made of a ferroelectric material, a ridge portion formed on a surface of the layer3and protrusions provided in both sides of the ridge portion. A three-dimensional optical waveguide is provided in the ridge portion. Alternatively, the substrate has a ridge portion15formed on a surface of the layer3and step portions provided in both sides of the ridge portion15and lower than the ridge portion15.Grooves16are formed in the outsides of the step portions, respectively, and a three-dimensional optical waveguide is provided in the ridge portion15.
