Circuit model for segmented traveling-wave electroabsorption modulators

摘要

In this paper, a circuit model of a segmented traveling-wave Electroabsorption modulators is presented for the circuit level simulation of single device or Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits (OEIC) including modulators. Using this model, the frequency response of segmented TEAM are analyzed using HSPICE. The analysis indicates that STEAM can achieve much wider bandwidth than the LEAM and TWEAM counterparts, with a small penalty in E/O conversion gain if low loss passive optical waveguide is available.
