Abstract
Link performances at 2.5Gbit/s for a packaged, InGaAsP-based, monolith ically integrated Mach-Zehnder modulator and DFB laser, and a co-packa ged discrete Mach-Zehnder modulator and DFB laser, are reported. Both modulators feature a switching voltage of similar to 2V, and an on-chi p absorber for optical power adjustment of up to 15dB. Negative disper sion penalties at 1.55 mu m for > 1000km of NDSF are achieved with bot h modules.
