PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain excellent electro-optic characteristics by arranging a plurality of electrodes in a traveling direction of light and applying electric fields to the electrodes in opposite directions. SOLUTION: The electro-optic element using an electro-optic crystal 40 having secondary electro-optic effect for an applied electric field has two electrode pairs 42 and 43, as electrode pairs for applying electric fields to the electro-optic crystal 40 perpendicularly to the traveling direction of the light, in the traveling direction of the light. The direction of the electric field applied to the first electrode pair 42 is made opposite from the direction of the electric field applied to the second electrode pair 43.
