Integrated tandem traveling-wave electroabsorption modulators for >100 Gbit/s OTDM applications

Integrated tandem traveling-wave electroabsorption modulators are demonstrated as high-speed optical short pulse generators and demultiplexers for >100 Gbit/s optical time-division-multiplexed systems. The tandem significantly increases the extinction ratio and further compresses the optical pulses in comparison to a single modulator. An extinction ratio of /spl sim/50 dB is achieved while optical pulses of 4-6 ps width at 30-40 GHz are generated.
