Abstract
In the adjustment method of optical coupling for an optical integrated circuit according to the present disclosure, the optimal adjustment position of optical coupling is determined on the basis of, for example, a sum of a plurality of photocurrents at electrodes on arm waveguides respectively formed on the plurality of MZIs in the polarization-multiplexing IQ modulator. According to the maximum value of the sum of the plurality of photocurrents, the light condensing spot position is adjusted to the center position of the end face core of the optical waveguide of the integrated chip. Typically, the light condensing spot position is adjusted to the center of the end face core by displacing the two input lenses.
