Abstract
We report on a tandem of electroabsorption modulators integrated with an amplifier by the identical active layer (IAL) approach. A 14 dB fiber-to-fiber is obtained by the use of constant As-P ratio MQW active layer and operation at 10 Gb/s is demonstrated. A record modulator saturation power of 35 mW is also reported.Keywords
