Optimization of 1.3-μm InGaAsP/InP Electro-Absorption Modulator

  • We report the simulation and experimental results of 1.3-μm InGaAsP/InP multiple quantum well (MQW) electro-absorption modulators (EAMs). In this work, the quantum confined Stark effect of the EAM is systematically analyzed through the finite element method. An optimized structure of the 1.3-μm InGaAsP/InP QW EAM is proposed for applications in 100 G ethernet. Then 1.3-μm InGaAsP/InP EAMs with f?3 dB bandwidth of over 20 GHz and extinction ratio over 20 dB at 3 V bias voltage are demonstrated.
