Components of a 100 Gb/s transmitter with electrical time-division multiplexing are presented as following: electrical multiplexer, driver amplifier, and large-bandwidth distributed feedback-traveling-wave electro-absorption modulator module. The performance of the parts of the transmitter, as well as the complete chain, is investigated for data operation and transmission in future 100 Gb/s Ethernet (100GbE). Clearly open eye diagrams at 100 Gb/s are demonstrated together with data transmission over 300 m long standard single mode fiber link.
