Abstract
An InGaAs/GaAsP multiquantum well (MQW) reflection modulator is demonstrated that has no material buffer layer between the mirror and MQW, for superior electronic integration compatibility. A reflectivity change from 32 to 69% is obtained on GaAs substrates for a 0-10 V swing at 1.06 mu m. We further demonstrate such a device on a silicon substrate.
