Each of six first lattice elements adjacent to a light confinement portion shifts from a lattice point in a direction of separating from the light confinement portion, and each of twelve second lattice elements shifts from a lattice point in a direction of separating from the light confinement portion. The second lattice elements are lattice elements arranged to be adjacent to the first lattice elements on a side of separating from the light confinement portion. Moreover, each of the first lattice elements has a smaller diameter than other lattice elements arranged on lattice points.

An optical IQ modulator includes: Y branching elements, which are cascade-connected, each of which has one input and two outputs; QPSK modulators configured to perform QPSK modulation on continuous light branched by the Y branching elements to generate signal light; and Y combining elements, which are cascade-connected, each of which has two inputs and one output.

The amount of outward shift of a lattice element () and a lattice element (), the outward shift being symmetrical with respect to a resonator center on a straight line, is 0.42 to 0.5 times a lattice constant of a photonic crystal. The amount of outward shift of a lattice element () and a lattice element (), the outward shift being symmetrical with respect to the resonator center on the straight line, is 0.26 to 0.38 times the lattice constant of the photonic crystal. The amount of outward shift of a lattice element () and a lattice element (), the outward shift being symmetrical with respect to the resonator center on the straight line, is 0.13 to 0.19 times the lattice constant of the photonic crystal. The amount of outward shift of a lattice element () and a lattice element (), the outward shift being symmetrical with respect to the resonator center on the straight line, is &#x2212;0.1 to 0 times the lattice constant of the photonic crystal.

This computation device and method exponentially shortens a computation time of an NP-complete problem or the like mapped into an Ising model by exponentially shortening a computation time of the Ising mode. For each pair of a plurality of slave lasers, by controlling the intensity, the polarization, and the phase of light exchanged between two slave lasers using an attenuator and a wave plate, the magnitude and the sign of pseudo Ising interaction between two slave lasers are implemented. Then, after the plurality of slave lasers arrive at a steady state, by measuring the polarization of light generated by each slave laser with left-handed circular polarization and right-handed circular polarization used as bases, a pseudo spin of each slave laser is measured.

For each pair of a plurality of slave lasers B for which injection synchronization is performed by a master laser M, by controlling the intensity of light exchanged between two slave lasers B and an optical path length between the two slave lasers B using a slave-to-laser intensity control unit IA and an inter-slave laser optical path length control unit IP, the magnitude and the sign of pseudo ising interaction Jbetween the two slave lasers B are implemented. After the plurality of slave lasers B arrive at a steady state, by measuring relative values of the oscillation phases of the plurality of slave lasers B with respect to the oscillation phase of the master laser M by using an oscillation phase measuring unit PM, pseudo ising spins &#x3c3;of the plurality of slave lasers B are measured.
