Abstract

There is disclosed a harmonic modulation device of waveguide type including a semiconductor laser, a waveguide for generating a nonlinear optical harmonic of the semiconductor laser by keeping phase matching, means for leading an optical beam of the semiconductor laser to the waveguide, electrodes disposed on the waveguide, and means for modulating a refractive index of the waveguide electro-optically to modulate a phase matching condition and thereby modulate an intensity of the harmonic.
