Abstract :
High performance semiconductor optical modulators and photodetectors are key components of microwave photonic systems with low noise, high gain and high dynamic range performance. In this talk, novel n-i-n type-II heterostructure InGaAlAs/InAlAs multiple-quantum-barrier based semiconductor electro-optic modulators are introduced with low drive voltage and low waveguide loss. High efficiency, wide bandwidth photodetectors are proposed and realized with novel integrated uni-traveling-carrier photodiode structures.
