Abstract
An optical device, including a substrate; an optical waveguide provided in a predetermined region of the substrate and formed of an electro-optic material film; a protective layer formed adjacent to the optical waveguide; and a non-light-propagation optical waveguide provided outside the predetermined region, wherein the surface roughness of the non-light-propagation optical waveguide is RMS 0.5 nm or more. According to the optical device, the occurrence of micro-cracks on the optical waveguide can be suppressed, thereby reducing the light propagation loss.
