<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical element which utilizes an electro-optic effect of lithium niobate, has a short element length and has a low driving voltage. <P>SOLUTION: The optical element 1 has a lithium niobate crystal substrate 11 with a stoichiometric composition. The lithium niobate crystal substrate 11 has a titanium diffusion layer 13 to be a wave guide formed in the vicinity of a surface 12, has the short element length, has the low driving voltage and hence is excellent in a degree of integration. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO</p> |
