Abstract

Provided is an optical modulator in which degradation of an extinction ratio is suppressed and a temperature drift phenomenon is suppressed. An optical modulator includes: a substrate having an electro-optic effect; an optical waveguide formed on the substrate; and a control electrode for controlling light waves propagating through the optical waveguide, in which the optical waveguide has one or more Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides (Ato Aand Bto B), the control electrode has DC electrodes (Cto C) which apply DC bias, a feeder electrode which feeds DC bias to the DC electrode crosses one of two branched waveguides of the Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguide, and a first dummy electrode (a dotted line Eor E) is provided at a specific position on the other one of the two branched waveguides, which is a specific position symmetrical in relation to a position at which the feeder electrode crosses the one of the two branched waveguides.
