Abstract

An optical waveguide device has a substrate, an intermediate layer, a thin-film LN layer containing an X-cut lithium niobate, and a buffer layer stacked on the substrate, and an optical waveguide having a ridge shape formed in the thin-film LN layer. The optical waveguide device includes a plurality of electrodes provided, respectively, at a first side and a second side of the optical waveguide. The electrodes are disposed so that respective bottom surfaces thereof are at positions lower than a position of a surface of the buffer layer.
