Monolithically Integrated, Sampled Grating DBR Laser Transmitter with an Asymmetric Quantum Well Electroabsorption Modulator

摘要

We present the first widely-tunable transmitter that employs intra-step quantum wells for intensity modulation. Fiber coupled output power is 2 dBm with tuning range 40 nm. EAMs show modulation depths 20 dB, slope efficiency 7 dB/V, and 10 bandwidth
