Abstract:A monolithically integrated quantum dot (QD) electro-optic modulator (EOM) with a QD semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) was successfully developed with a broadband QD optical gain material for Gbps-order high-speed optical data transmission. An optical gain change as high as approximately 6-7 dB can be obtained with a low EOM voltage of 2.0 V. An insertion loss was also compensated through the SOA section. Additionally, it was confirmed that the QD-EOM/SOA device helped achieve 6.0-Gb/s error-free optical d… Show more
