Abstract

This paper presents an electroabsorption modulator (EAM) module for digital and analog (D/A) applications. Optically broad-band operation of the EAM module is studied for such digital application as wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems. Utilizing anisotropic electroabsorption of multiple quantum-well (MQW) EAM, 40- and 100-nm bandwidth operations in 2.5-Gb/s digital signal transmission over 200-km standard fiber are confirmed by the experiments and the simulations, respectively. For analog applications, low distortion and high link gain characteristics of the EAM module are investigated at the wavelength of 1535 nm. High spurious-free dynamic range of 123 dBdotHz4/5 and high link gains of {-}10.3 dB with matching circuit and {-}20.6 dB without matching circuit are obtained using the EAM module.
