Abstract
Provided is an electro-absorption modulator that includes a substrate, a mesa structure, a first conductivity type electrode, and a second conductivity type electrode. The first conductivity type electrode includes a mesa-top electrode, a pad electrode, and a lead-out wire electrode. The mesa structure has a light input end, to which light is to be input from outside, and a light output end, which is on a side of the mesa structure that is opposite of the light input end. A connection position between a center position in a short-side direction of the lead-out wire electrode and the mesa-top electrode is closer to the light output end side in a long-side direction of the mesa-top electrode. The connection position is a position that is less than 50% from the light output end side with respect to a length in the long-side direction of the mesa-top electrode.
