Abstract
We report on the integration on InP of an electroabsorption modulator and an amplifier using the same active layer. The amplifier compensate s for the various losses and provides net fiber-to-fiber gain at 1.55 mum. The extinction ratio is 10.5 dB for a modulator drive voltage of 2 V. The small-signal bandwidth is 18 GHz. In addition, the effective chirp parameter is as low as 0.16.
