Abstract

The experimental results of a 4μn-thick GaAs/AIGaAs MQW modulator show an~10:1 on/off ratio with an applied voltage of 20 V (Δα~6×103/cm at E~50kV/cm) and~0-4πrad of phase shift with an applied voltage of 10 V (&# Optoelectronics, Optical modulation, Modulators, Electro-opticsx0394;n~0 04 at E~25 kV/cm). Such high electro-optical modulations have previously been reported only in MQW optical waveguide modulators.
