Monolithic integration of electroabsorption modulators and tunnel injection distributed feedback lasers using quantum well intermixing

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/19/12/124215

Abstract Electroabsorption modulators combining Franz–Keldysh effect and quantum confined Stark effect have been monolithically integrated with tunnel-injection quantum-well distributed feedback lasers using a quantum well intermixing method. Superior characteristics such as extinction ratio and temperature insensitivity have been demonstrated at wide temperature ranges.

Keywords: electroabsorption modulator tunnel injection wide temperature range operation quantum well intermixing
