Problems solved by technology

In this way, for example, when the off-light component is used for the DC bias monitor control of the MZ type modulator, even if an appropriate bias point is set using the off-light (emission mode light), on the on-light output side It also becomes an inappropriate bias state, and there is a problem that the best output characteristics as a modulator cannot be obtained

Embodiment Construction

[0029] The optical waveguide of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0030] like image 3 As shown, the optical waveguide element of the present invention has a Mach-Zehnder type waveguide formed on the substrate, and is characterized in that the two waveguides (11 , 12) with an inclination angle of 0 degrees, the waveguide after the multiplexing section is multimode waveguide, the waveguide output from the multiplexing section is composed of 3 branch waveguides, and the 3 branch waveguides are composed of output main waveguide (14) and clip Two output sub-waveguides follow the output main waveguide.

[0031] like image 3 As shown, by arranging branch waveguides 11 and 12 in parallel, etc., setting the inclination angle of the two waveguides input to the multiplexer 13 to 0 degrees, and constituting the multiplexer with multimode waveguides, it is possible to suppress generation of Unnecessary higher order mode light. As a result, problems such as en...

Abstract

The invention aims to provide an optical waveguide element which minimizes the excitation of an unnecessary higher mode in a multiplexing section of a MZ waveguide to increase the stabilization of output light, and is capable of efficiently deriving radiation mode light. Specifically disclosed is an optical waveguide element in which a Mach-Zehnder waveguide is formed on a substrate, wherein the inclination of two waveguides (11, 12) that are input to a multiplexing section (13) on the emission side of the Mach-Zehnder waveguide is a 0 degree; wherein the multiplexed waveguide of the multiplexing section is a multi-mode waveguide; and wherein a waveguide that is output from the multiplexing section is further configured from a three-branch waveguide consisting of an output main waveguide (14), and two output sub-waveguides (15, 16) that sandwich the output main waveguide (14) therebetween.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical waveguide element, in particular to an optical waveguide element such as an optical modulator or an optical switch on which a Mach-Zehnder waveguide is formed on a substrate. Background technique [0002] In the field of optical communication and optical measurement, intensity modulators and optical switches having optical waveguides constituting a Mach-Zehnder type (MZ type) structure on substrates such as lithium niobate (LN) and semiconductor materials are widely used . [0003] The optical modulator of the MZ type structure has a modulation electrode arranged along the MZ type waveguide. By applying a voltage to the modulation voltage, the optical phase between the branch waveguides (arms) of the MZ type waveguide is changed. Interference phenomenon in the part, control light on / off (ON / OFF). [0004] As the MZ structure with the simplest multiplexer structure and the easiest manufacture, there is a cas...
