Investigation on integrated high speed DFB light source and narrow bandwidth RCE photodetector for WDM fiber communication network application

摘要

Electroabsorption (EA) modulator integrated with partially gain coupling distributed feedback (DFB) lasers have been fabricated and shown high single mode yield and wavelength stability. The small signal bandwidth is about 7.5 GHz. Strained Si_1-xGe_x/Si multiple quantum well (MQW) resonant-cavity enhanced (RCE) photodetectors with SiO_2/Si distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) as the mirrors have been fabricated and shown a clear narrow bandwidth response. The external quantum efficiency at 1.3 mum is measured to be about 3.5
