Résumé

The InGaAs/InGaAlAs multiple-quantum-well electro-absorption modulators (EAM) for ultrafast all-optical signal processing were analyzed. On the use of small conduction and valence band offsets, the structure design was based. The cross-absorption modulation was used to obtain switching windows as short as 5 ps for a 2 V applied reverse bias. The results show that the EAM structure is expected to exhibit a wide operating spectral band, namely 30 nm.
