Abstract
The breakdown phenomena in an InGaAsP electro-absorption modulator were studied. As the bias voltage being higher or AEg being smaller, the input power for breakdown became smaller. Allowable maximum input optical power has a large margin (>5dB) for the conventional input level in practical systems.
