Abstract:
A substrate ( 102 ) having a piezoelectric effect, optical waveguides ( 138 a,  140 a,  138 b,  140 b , and the like) formed on the substrate, and a plurality of bias electrodes ( 152 a,  152 b , and the like) that control an optical wave (s) which propagate through the optical waveguides are provided, and the bias electrodes are constituted and/or disposed such that an electrical signal applied to one of the bias electrodes is prevented from being received by another one of the bias electrodes through a surface acoustic wave.

Claim (Index 2):
An optical modulator comprising:\n a substrate having a piezoelectric effect; an optical waveguide(s) formed on the substrate; and a plurality of bias electrodes that control an optical wave(s) which propagate through the optical waveguide(s), wherein each of the bias electrodes is an interdigital electrode which comprises at least one pair of electrodes which extend with an interval therebetween, and wherein a relative position between the bias electrodes is set so as to impede a dither signal applied to one of the bias electrodes from being received by another one of the bias electrodes through a surface acoustic wave propagating on a surface of the substrate.
