Abstract
Electroabsorption modulators with polarisation independence of chirp a nd transmission (TE/TM sensitivity <0.4dB at 1550nm) over a wide wavel ength range from 1540nm to 1560nm have been realised using tensile str ained InGaAsP quantum wells. The fabricated devices show 42GHz modulat ion bandwidth and 1.8V drive voltage, resulting in a high bandwidth-to -drive-voltage ratio of 23.3GHz/V.
