摘要: We present segmented transmission-line (TML) electroabsorption modulators (EAMs) with characteristic impedance close to 50 /spl Omega/. The TML approach allows us design a traveling-wave EAM Omega/ and very high bandwidth. devices show low return loss (<-15 dB) excellent frequency response up GHz, exhibit maximum model-extrapolated 3 dBe bandwidth (BW) of 90 GHz. An effective modeling tool based on Bloch-wave analysis is derived. Design considerations properties for periodic TML-EAMs are discussed.
