摘要: High-speed phase modulation (in the frequency bandwidth of 20 GHz, highest yet reported for multiple quantum well (MQW) modulators) waveguided InGaAlAs/InAlAs MQW optical modulators is reported. The modulator successfully operates at a long wavelength 1-55 mu m with low required voltage shift (V pi =3.8 V), small intensity depth below 1.5 dB, and without any degradation up to GHz under high input power 0 dBm in single-mode fiber. >
