Abstract
The chirping characteristics of InGaAsP electroabsorption modulatiors have been analyzed. The effective .alpha. parameters for large signal modulation were estimated by comparing the pulse shape after fiber transmission with constant chirping assumption.We investigated the structure and the operating condition of the modulator to improve the chirping characteristics. The .alpha. parameters were calculated as the function of wavelength detuning and the bias voltage. To minimize the chirping performance, high bias voltage and a small wavelength detuning and the bias voltage. To minimize the chirping performance, high bias voltage and a small wavelength detuning were preferred. An negative .alpha. value is achieved at the wavelength detuning below 30meV with a proper bias voltage so that pulse compression effect was expected.
