Abstract
The authors describe the high-speed operation of an electroabsorption modul ator with travelling-wave electrodes. The modulator exhibited good performa nce over a broad bandwidth in 10 and 30Gbit/s transmission experiments. The polarisation-insensitive electroabsorption modulator required a low switch ing voltage of similar to 1.6V(p-p).
