The invention relates to the technical field of optical modulators, and particularly relates to an optical
waveguide modulator. The optical
waveguide modulator comprises a modulation area, a
wavelength selection area and a connection area, wherein the modulation area is in a
resonant cavity structure and used for changing the
refractive index of an optical
waveguide through a physical reaction, and a nonlinear relation is formed between the
refractive index and
phase change of the optical waveguide; the
wavelength selection area is in a closed optical waveguide structure and used for carrying out selection on
resonance wavelengths by using an interference method; and the modulation area and the
wavelength selection area are subjected to optical
signal transmission by the connection area. By using the the optical waveguide modulator provided by the invention, a nonlinear change relation between a
refractive index and a
coupling coefficient can be realized by a special
coupling structure, and the reduction on the size of the modulator can be realized while high-efficiency
coupling regulation is carried out. Compared with the existing optical waveguide modulator, the
modulation efficiency ratio of the optical waveguide modulator provided by the invention is over 10 times as large as the existing optical waveguide modulator; and because the modulation area is isolated from the wavelength selection area, the drift influence (caused by an active
thermal effect) on operation wavelengths is reduced.
