A directional coupler including a substrate having a length and containing a material that exhibits electrooptic properties, the substrate being divided into a plurality of reversed polarization domains along a direction of length. At least two optical waveguides are formed in the substrate in the direction of length thereof and substantially parallel to a main surface thereof. An electrode is disposed above a portion of each optical waveguide for modulating light waves propagating through the waveguides, respectively, the electrode being divided equally by at least a portion of a boundary surface between the plurality of reversed polarization domains.
