Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce cross-talk and to increase the extinction ratio by providing metallic thin plates which are inserted into an acousto-optic medium among electrodes of respective channels constituting an electrode part in parallel to the electrodes and connected electrically to the electrode earth part. CONSTITUTION:On one surface of the acousto-optic medium 1, an ultrasonic wave transducer 2 and the electrode part 30 for inputting an electric signal for modulating a laser beam are provided. Then the metallic thin plates 41 to 43 are inserted into the acousto-optic medium 1 among the electrodes 31 to 34 of the respective channels constituting the electrode part and connected electrically to the electrode earth part. Namely, the metallic thin plates 41 to 43 which are connected electrically to the electrode earth part prevent a high frequency signal transmitted from leaking from lead lines which input the high frequency signal to the electrodes of the respective channels to other lead lines. Consequently, the multichannel optical modulating element which generates small cross-talk and has a good extinction ratio is obtained.
