Abstract
We report the high-frequency performance of GaAs/AlGaAs multiple-quant um-well- (MQW-)) based asymmetric Fabry-Perot (ASFP) reflection modula tor. The measured frequency response bandwidth of the modulator was si milar to 600 MHz at an applied voltage of only 5 V at a wavelength of similar to 854 nm. The differential contrast of the modulator was 4.0 at an applied voltage of 12.5 at a wavelength of 863 nm. (C) 1991 John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
