A differential drive semiconductor optical modulator includes: a differential driver circuit having output pads which can output a pair of differential signals; a transmission-line substrate having transmission lines connected to the output pads and ground lines; and semiconductor modulators mounted on the transmission-line substrate, arranged in series along a common optical axis; terminal resistors connected to terminal ends of the transmission lines and inductances interposed between the semiconductor modulators and the terminal resistors, on the transmission-line substrate, producing an appropriate optical modulation waveform with a high extinction ratio and enhanced modulation bandwidth.
