Method of stabilizing electro-absorption modulators (EAM's) performance by maintaining constant absorption with the use of intergrated tap couplers and method of manufacture

摘要: An exemplary monolithic stabilized transmissive active optical device, such as an electroabsorption modulator (EAM), a variable attenuator (VOA), or semiconductor amplifier (SOA), with output tap, is formed from: substrate; waveguide layer; layer. The layer coupled to the substrate and includes medium, which interacts predetermined wavelength of light, responsive electric signal. signal applied between tap section adjacent section. These sections include portions medium. Further embodiments present invention incorporate temperature well bias control improve performance devices.
