直径の1/6以上の厚さが必要になる。 In general, a Fabry-Perot optical modulator, as shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b, holds one flat plate 2 out of two transparent flat plates 1 and 2 at three points with laminated piezoelectric elements 3,
The structure is such that the interplanar spacing is modulated by variations in the thickness of the laminated piezoelectric element 3. Here, 4 is a holding stand, and 5 is a power source. However, in this structure, it is necessary to route three sets of lead wires from each laminated piezoelectric element 3, and since the flat plates 1 and 2 form parallel planes,
The thickness must be at least 1/6 of the diameter.

である。 One embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a Fabry-Perot optical modulator according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numerals 11 and 12 denote transparent flat plates, each of which is fixed to a holding table 15 at its peripheral edge by ring-shaped laminated piezoelectric elements 13 and 14. The two ring-shaped laminated piezoelectric elements 13 and 14 are electrically connected to each other and each connected to a power source 16. Current is applied to each of the ring-shaped laminated piezoelectric elements 13 and 14 so as to fluctuate in synchronization in opposite directions when the current is applied. Therefore, the parallel plane spacing is the sum of the displacements of each plane, and the modulation degree is the same applied voltage,
Naturally, if the number of laminated sheets is the same, the size will be larger. Furthermore, since both flat plates 11 and 12 are mounted on the same laminated piezoelectric elements 13 and 14, errors due to changes in the thickness of the piezoelectric elements 13 and 14 due to changes in ambient temperature are canceled out and a balance between the two is maintained. According to
It is possible to bring the error due to temperature close to zero.

である。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the electrode structure of one ring-shaped piezoelectric element constituting the laminated piezoelectric elements 13 and 14.
a and b correspond to the front and back surfaces, respectively. In the figure, 2
1 is a ring-shaped piezoelectric material, 22 is a front electrode, and 23 is a back electrode. Each of the electrodes 22 and 23 is formed almost entirely on the front and back surfaces of the ring-shaped piezoelectric material 21, and cutouts 24 and 25 are formed in a part of the ring-shaped piezoelectric material 21, and the opposite electrode extends from the side surface of the cutout. electrode 22,
23 can be formed by various methods such as vapor deposition, plating, etc.

ともできる。 In this way, electrodes 2 are placed on both the front and back sides of the piezoelectric material 21.
A laminated piezoelectric element is constructed by laminating a large number of ring-shaped piezoelectric elements having 2 and 23 formed thereon as shown in FIG. A shows the state before adhesion, and B shows the state after adhesion. Each piezoelectric element in FIG. 4 is a view taken along the line X-X' in FIG. 3. Overlapping is done with adhesive, and the electrodes protruding from both sides are collectively electrically connected to the leads. The electrical connection is as shown in FIG. If necessary, electrical connection of the side electrodes can also be achieved by applying a conductive adhesive to the side surfaces.

11,12に対して互いに逆方向に接続すれば、
平板11,12は互いに逆方向に移動する。 As shown in FIG. 5, the piezoelectric elements are stacked alternately and a voltage is applied in parallel to each piezoelectric element so that each layer simultaneously shrinks or increases in thickness. Moreover, by stacking thin piezoelectric elements in this manner, the elements can be operated at a low voltage. Therefore, if this laminated piezoelectric element is connected to two transparent flat plates 11 and 12 in opposite directions as shown in FIG.
The flat plates 11 and 12 move in opposite directions.

When each voltage wafer is thin, for example about 0.1 mm, it is quite difficult to overlap the circularly punched wafers. In that case, electrodes are formed in a ring shape around the periphery of a disc-shaped wafer as shown in Figure 3, and then stacked with adhesive to achieve a laminated state, and then punched out in a ring shape. An annular laminated piezoelectric element can be easily manufactured.

きることになる。 In the present invention having the above configuration, the number of lead wires from the electrodes can be reduced, and the entire peripheral edge of the flat plate is fixed, so even if the thickness of the flat plate is about 1/12, the parallelism (λ/100; λ (wavelength of the target light), and requires only a flat plate that is about half the thickness of the conventional one, which means that the weight and dimensions can be reduced by about 20% to 30%.
