effects in multiple quantum well modulators" Appl. Phys. Lett. 63, 1715-1717
(1993). Experiments are described in biased AlGaAs/GaAs quantum well reflection modulators demonstrating that the degradation in continuous wave modulator performance due to absorption saturation at wavelengths lambda > lambda /sub 0/, is significantly reduced compared to that at lambda /sub 0/, the zero field exciton wavelength, which in this case is 850 nm. This is of importance in the selection of operating wavelengths for the self-electro-optic effect device (SEED) used in photonic switching or optical interconnect applications |
