Abstract

It is reported an InGaAsP-InP MQW electrorefraction optical intensity modulator without interferometric device for 1.55 μm. Extinction ratio of 17.0 dB at 3.0 V, insertion loss of 2.0 dB, bandwidth of 30 GHz, and 4 Å of optical tuning have been predicted for a device 220 μm long. The modulator can also be fabricated in tandem for application in WDM systems
