Abstract :
Transmission of 10 Gbit/s over 100 km of standard fibre at 1540 nm is reported for a strained multiquantum well electroabsorption modulator without prechirping of the laser source. The device has been optimised for chirp performance using computer simulations and is fully compatible for monolithic integration with a distributed feedback laser
