Abstract
The absorption properties and the refractive index change of an electr oabsorption modulator were determined directly in the waveguide config uration by evaluation of the modulation depth and the shift of Fabry-P erot modes. The shift direction indicates the sign of the chirp parame ter. Chirp compensation is demonstrated with a two-section modulator. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
