Abstract
A novel and simple approach for optimization of a multiple quantum wel l electroabsorption waveguide modulator is presented In our approach, all four of the modulator characteristic parameters (on-off ratio, ins ertion loss, bandwidth, and driving voltage) are included. Design exam ples for GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well modulators are presented. T he accuracy of our model is confirmed by comparison between calculated and published experimental data.
