Patent number: 8184355Abstract: A light modulation device capable of stabilizing a phase set in phase modulation processing and improving optical communication quality. A phase modulator is provided for each of plural branched input lights and performs phase modulation of the input light. A phase shifter is provided at the upstream or downstream of the phase modulator and shifts a phase of the input light or of the phase-modulated light.
