Abstract

Using local quantum-well-intermixing and cascaded-integration technique, a high-transmission broadband EAM-integrated SOA is demonstrated. Above 20dB-enhancement optical transmission, 57nm wavelength shift in electro-luminance, and 40Gb/s performance are observed, enabling regrowth-free local bandgap engineering in integration template.
