Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an optical deflector of large deflection angles and easy manufacture for small sized optical devices and optical ICs by constituting the same of an optical propagation medium buried in the groove of a substrate covering, and comb-shaped electrodes provided between the optical coulers on the medium. CONSTITUTION:A substrate 32 has surface protecting film 31, and an optical propagation medium 34, and a pair of comb-shaped electrodes 39 are formed on the film 31 and the medium 34 between prisms 301 and 302. With such optical deflector, input light 36 of a certain incident angle is introduced into the medium 34 through the prism 301, and in a certain mode, for example, TE1 mode, it is propagated into the direction of the prism 302 through the inside of the medium 34, whereby an output 37 is obtained from the prism 302. When the mode is changed (for example, from TE1 to TE1-TE2) by the electrodes 39, the output light 37 is changed of the output direction by the deflection angle theta to make output light 38.
