Integrated electroabsorption modulator/semiconductor optical amplifier for 2.5 Gbit/s modulation with fiber-to-fiber gain

We have examined the performance of an integrated semiconductor optical amplifier/elctroabsorption (SOA-EA) modulator device and find that the device provides good performance at 2.5 Gbit/s modulation, with fiber-to-fiber gain, and low polarization sensitivity. With improvements in packaging, the hi...

More Information
Summary:We have examined the performance of an integrated semiconductor optical amplifier/elctroabsorption (SOA-EA) modulator device and find that the device provides good performance at 2.5 Gbit/s modulation, with fiber-to-fiber gain, and low polarization sensitivity. With improvements in packaging, the high-speed performance of this device should be extended to higher modulation rates.
