A wavelength tunable optical transmitter includes a first waveguide receiving incident light through an input port and outputting the incident light to a first output port, a resonant modulator adjacent to the first waveguide and whose resonant wavelength is variable, and a second waveguide disposed optically in parallel to the first waveguide and outputting emitted light to a second output port. The resonant modulator includes a silicon resonator constituted by a crystallized silicon film in the form of a closed loop between the first and second waveguides, a first electrode within the silicon resonator and constituted by a silicon film of a first conductivity type, and a second electrode extending alongside part of the outer circumferential surface of the silicon resonator and constituted by a silicon film of a second conductivity type. |
