Abstract
To prevent deterioration in an extinction ratio due to asymmetry between a pair of optical waveguides. An optical modulator has a Mach-Zehnder optical waveguide including mutually parallel first and second waveguides and a signal electrode for controlling the phase of light propagating in the Mach-Zehnder optical waveguide. The first and second waveguides have a first section in which the second waveguide has a line width smaller than that of the first waveguide and a second section in which the first waveguide has a line width smaller than that of the second waveguide. The first section and the second section are replaced with each other in curved parts.
