Abstract:
A single drive type optical modulator has good high-frequency characteristics and reduced wavelength chirp of the modulated light. An optical modulator is provided with a Mach-Zehnder optical waveguide including first and second optical waveguides, a buffer layer covering the first and second optical waveguides, and an electrode layer including first and second ground electrodes and a signal electrode positioned between the first and second ground electrodes in a plan view. The signal electrode has a first lower surface covering the first optical waveguide through the buffer layer, the first ground electrode has a first lower surface covering the second optical waveguide through the buffer layer and a second lower surface positioned above the first lower surface, and a gap between the signal electrode and the second ground electrode that is larger than a gap between the signal electrode and the first ground electrode.

Claim (Index 2):
The optical modulator as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein\n a width of the first lower surface of the signal electrode is larger than a width of the first lower surface of the first ground electrode.
