A. Ramdane et al., VERY SIMPLE APPROACH FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE DFB LASER-ELECTROABSORPTIONMODULATOR MONOLITHIC INTEGRATION, Electronics Letters, 30(23), 1994, pp. 1980-1981
A novel and very simple approach is demonstrated for distributed feedb
ack laser-electroabsorption modulator monolithic integration. This use
s the same strained multiquantum well active layer for both optical fu
nctions. Very high performance (13.6 dB extinction ratio at 1.5V opera
ting voltage for a 70mum long modulator) is reported at 1.5 mum.
