An electro-optic modulator (22) and an
optical module (m1). The electro-optic modulator (22) comprises a
waveguide, electrodes and anisotropic structures (1), wherein the anisotropic structures (1) are arranged between the electrodes and the
waveguide; and in a direction perpendicular to a connection interface between the
waveguide and each anisotropic structure (1), each anisotropic structure (1) has a first
refractive index, and the waveguide has a second
refractive index, the first
refractive index being less than the second refractive index. In general, the waveguide is made of an isotropic material, so the connection interface between the waveguide and each anisotropic structure (1) is a connection interface between an isotropic structure and said anisotropic structure (1). Since the first refractive index is less than the second refractive index, a carrier optical
signal in the waveguide undergoes total reflection when being incident onto the connection interface, thereby improving the
lateral diffusion of an
optical field in the waveguide, preventing the carrier optical
signal from being incident onto the surface of the
electrode, which would cause the loss of the carrier optical
signal, improving the transmission power and
transmission quality of the carrier optical signal in the waveguide, and improving the effect of
data transmission.
