Abstract
Provided is an optical waveguide element having a reduced optical loss, a lower driving voltage, and a reduced size. A rib waveguide core of an optical waveguide includes a first core region and a second core region which constitute a PN junction and which are provided so as to overlap each other in a horizontal direction. A depletion layer is formed between the first core region and the second core region. The depletion layer extends from a rib region to both of two slab regions. The depletion layer is located so as to be vertically lower in the slab regions than in the rib region.
