Surface-normal electroabsorption reflection modulators using asymmetric Fabry-Perot structures

The authors discuss a family of surface-normal electrooptic reflection modulators using asymmetric Fabry-Perot (ASFP) structures with GaAs-AlGaAs multiple quantum wells (MQWs) as the active medium. When an optimized top mirror reflectivity ( approximately 75%) is used, a voltage swing as low as 2 V...

description The authors discuss a family of surface-normal electrooptic reflection modulators using asymmetric Fabry-Perot (ASFP) structures with GaAs-AlGaAs multiple quantum wells (MQWs) as the active medium. When an optimized top mirror reflectivity ( approximately 75%) is used, a voltage swing as low as 2 V is enough to change the device reflectivity by more than 40% with a contrast ratio of 50. A comparison with various Fabry-Perot structures shows that the ASFP is the best structure in terms of its operating voltage requirement and optical bandwidth. A sensitivity analysis shows that tolerances of 2 nm in operating wavelength, 0.5 V in operating voltage, 0.3% in layer thickness control or 10 degrees C in temperature variation can be expected from ASFPs with a finesse approximately 10.< >
