Abstract
The performance of a surface normal modulator operating at visible wav elengths is described. Modulation at these wavelengths is achieved by incorporating aluminium in the well material and increasing the alumin ium content in the barrier. Maximum contrast is achieved at 660nm with a low insertion loss (1.5dB) and a differential reflectivity of 13% f or 13V.
