Waveguide structures of the stand-alone electroabsorption (EA) modulator and the electroabsorption modulated laser (EML) are investigated using the 3D beam propagation method. The EA waveguide structures with InP-based passivation layers show saturation in the extinction ratio (ER) due to the stray light traveling through the passivation layers. This paper demonstrates that narrower passivation layers suppress stray-light excitation in the EA waveguide, increasing the ER. A taper structure in the isolation section of the EML waveguide can reduce the mode mismatch and suppress the excitation of the stray light, increasing the ER further. Low-index-polymer passivation layers can confine the mode more tightly in the active waveguide, yielding an even higher ER.

We fabricated 40Gbps electroabsorption modulator-integrated DFB lasers (EMLs). Adopting traveling-wave (TW) electrode and tilted facet improved high-frequency characteristics of EMLs. The 3dB bandwidth of E/O response for TW-EML was as large as 34 GHz, as compared with 27 GHz for lumped EML. Tilted facet formed by dry etching processes successfully reduced the optical feedback and the resonance in E/O response decreased to as small as 2.8 dB.

본 논문에서는 진행파형 전계흡수 변조기 (TW-EAM: traveling-wave electroabsorption modulator)의 선형성을 분석하기 위한 새로운 모델을 제시한다. TW-EAM은 소자의 길이, 마이크로파 손실 (microwave loss, ML), 그리고 임피던스 부정합에 의한 내부반사(internal reflection, IR) 등이 소자의 선형성에 영향을 미친다. 소자의 길이의 증가는 혼변조 왜곡 (intermodulation distortion, IMD)이 최소가 되는 전원전압의 크기를 감소시킨다. ML의 증가는 3차 혼변조 왜곡 (third-order IMD, IMD3)의 감소와 동시에 출력신호의 전력도 감소시킨다. IR은 입력주파수의 파장과 소자의 길이에 따라 각기 다른 IMD 특성을 나타낸다. ML 또는 IR에 의한 SFDR (spurious-free dynamic-range)의 변화는 거의 없었으며, TW-EAM의 IR을 이용하면 ML에 의한 신호 전력의 감쇄를 보상해 줄 수 있음도 알 수 있었다. 결과적으로 50 GHz 대역의 RF-광통신용 TW-EAM은 길이가 0.8 mm이고 출력단의 임피던스 부정합을 이용하면서 최소의 손실을 가지는 구조가 적당함을 알 수 있었다.

A complete high-frequency small-signal circuit model of a 40 Gb/s butterfly electroabsorption modulator integrated laser module is presented for the first time to analyze and optimize its electro-optic (E/O) response and reflection characteristics. An agreement between measured and simulated results demonstrates the accuracy and validity of the procedures. By optimizing the bonding wire length and the impedance of the coplanar waveguide transmission lines, the E/O response increases approximately 5% to 15% from 20 GHz to 33 GHz, while the signal injection efficiency increases from approximately 15% to 25% over 18 GHz to 35 GHz.

The impact of equivalent optical bandwidth on the performance of a system using a reflective electroabsorption modulator (R-EAM) based optical source has been experimentally evaluated with signals operating at 2.5 Gb/s and beyond. The equivalent optical bandwidth of our source with a broadband seed light was simply adjusted by using a bandwidth tunable optical filter. From the measurements, we have estimated the required equivalent optical bandwidth of our source for an error-free transmission (@ bit-error-rate of $10^{-12}$) and a forward error correction (FEC) threshold of $2{\times}10^{-4}$.

A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser and a high speed electroabsorption modulator (EAM) are integrated on the basis of the selective area growth technique. The typical threshold current is 4 to 6 mA, and the side mode suppression ratio is over 40 dB with single mode operation at 1550 nm. The DBR laser exhibits 2.5 to 3.3 mW fiber output power at a laser gain current of 100 mA, and a modulator bias voltage of 0 V. The 3 dB bandwidth is 13 GHz. A 10 Gbps non-return to zero operation with 12 dB extinction ratio is obtained. A four-channel laser array with 100 GHz wavelength spacing was fabricated and its operation at the designed wavelength was confirmed.

An optimize delectroabsorption modulator structure is designed for high speed optical communication systems considering the extinction efficiency, operating bandwidth, polarization loss, and wavelength chirping. the operating wavelength region is $1.55\mu\textrm{m}$ and the deep ridge structure is adapted for th eminimum polarization loss. Simulations show that the absorption layer thickness larger than $0.25\mu\textrm{m}$, and the modulator length shorter than $200\mu\textrm{m}$ are required for the bandwidth over 10GHz. To obtain the modulatiron efficiency over 10dB/V, a wavelength detuning needs to be determined less than 40meV.

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.
