64Gb/s Electro Absorption Modulator Operation in InP-Based Active-Passive Generic Integration Platform

We have designed, fabricated and characterized an electro-absorption modulator integrated with generic technology on a semi-insulating substrate. The modulator operates at 64Gb/s with 6dB dynamic extinction ratio, a bias voltage of −2.2V and a voltage swing of 3.5V.
