Abstract :
Electro-absorption-transceiver (EAT) structures used as efficient travelling-wave electro-absorption-modulator (TWEAM) as well as travelling-wave-photo-detector (TWPD) are investigated. Clear eye-openings at 50 Gb/s for modulation and for detection are presented. Transmission over 2.2 km and 5 km SSMF were achieved.
