Abstract
An optical control device is provided which can suppress crosstalk between electrodes without increasing the entire size of the device itself. The optical control device includes a substrate having an electro-optical effect, an optical waveguide formed in the substrate, and a modulation electrode modulating optical waves propagating in the optical waveguide. The modulation electrode includes at least two signal electrodes and ground electrodes arranged to interpose the signal electrodes therebetween. The optical control device further includes an electrical connection member that electrically connects the ground electrode disposed between the two signal electrodes to other ground electrodes and that is disposed to cross over part of the signal electrode.
