Abstract :
Very compact electroabsorption optical modulator modules that demonstrate high coupling efficiency and high stability have been developed. The modules show very good potential such as an insertion loss as low as 5 dB, or ultrahigh speed modulation of up to 46 GHz. The module fabrication techniques are also applicable to other optical devices that require fiber connections at both facets
