Abstract

In an optical semiconductor device related to the present invention, a first light source outputting light having a first polarization, a second light source outputting light having a second polarization, a first optical modulator being optically connected to an output side of the first light source and modulating the light that is output from the first light source to output a light signal, a second optical modulator being optically connected to an output side of the second light source and modulating the light that is output from the second light source to output a light signal, and an optical multiplexer coupling the light signal that is output from the first optical modulator with the light signal that is output from the second optical modulator to output a coupled light signal, are integrated on a semiconductor substrate together.
