High-Speed Traveling-Wave Electroabsorption Modulators
Electroabsorption modulators (EAMs) based on the quantum confined Stark effect in multiple quantum wells (MQWs) have advantages for high-speed, low drive voltage, and high extinction ratio applications. In this paper, a traveling-wave electrode structure is proposed to achieve high bandwidths with long devices and lower drive voltages at 1.55μm wavelength. An InGaAsP/InGaAsP MQW traveling-wave ...

Multi-quantum well (MQW) electroabsorption modulators (EAMs) are attractive for applications requiring signal modulation at high speed and with high e±ciency (high extinction ratio at low voltage). They are promising devices for external signal modulation in high-bandwidth optical communication systems. EAMs can be integrated with other devices like laser diodes, semiconductor optical ampli ̄ers...
متن کاملPicosecond Pulse Generation for High-Speed Optical Time Division Multiplexing Systems
In an ultrahigh speed OTDM system, picosecond or subpicosecond optical data pulses are transmitted through a fibre link. The optical pulses used in such OTDM systems should have the following characteristics: narrow pulsewidth, high extinction ratio, small timing jitter, repetition-rate tunability, and long term stability. Up to now, several techniques have been developed to produce optical pul...

Larger width of P-cladding layer in p-i-n waveguide of traveling wave electroabsorption modulator (TWEAM) results in lower resistance and microwave propagation loss which provides an enhanced high speed electro-optical response. In this paper, a fullvectorial finite-difference-based optical mode solver is presented to analyze mushroom-type TWEAM for the first time. In this analysis, the discont...

Introduction: An add-drop multiplexer (ADM) is one of the key elements in optical time division multiplexed (OTDM) networks. Various methods of performing OTDM add-drop have been demonstrated. Recently add-drop operation at 16 10 Gbit=s has been demonstrated with the use of a gain transparent ultrafast nonlinear interferometer (GT-UNI) [1] switch and at 4 40 Gbit=s with travelling-wave electroa...
