Abstract
10 Gbit/s modulation using a III-V semiconductor Mach-Zehnder interfer ometer is reported for the first time. The modulator has a - 3 dB band width in excess of 15 GHz and is operated in a push-pull drive configu ration with only 2 V peak to peak. 10 Gbit/s nonreturn to zero format eye diagrams with an extinction ratio > 10 dB are demonstrated.
