Patent ID: 10502988

Abstract:
Provided is an optical modulator module in which an occurrence of an error burst or an increase of an optical loss caused by a vapor phase transportation material can be effectively suppressed. The optical modulator module includes a substrate 1 that has a pyroelectric effect, an optical waveguide 2 that is formed on a principal surface of the substrate 1, a conductive film (not illustrated) that is formed on the substrate 1, and control electrodes (31 to 33) that control a light wave propagated through the optical waveguide 2. In the optical modulator module, the light wave is input to an end portion 21 of the optical waveguide (or is output from the end portion 21 of the optical waveguide) by a space optical system (not illustrated). Adsorption means 4 for adsorbing a vapor phase transportation material is disposed in the vicinity of the end portion 21 of the optical waveguide.
