Abstract

The multiple-quantum-well (MQW) electroabsorption modulators have advantages such as low driving voltage, high-speed operation,1 and monolithic integration with a DFB laser.4 Next, their strong polarization dependence in the modulation properties must be resolved for practical use. Many trials have reported for semiconductor optical modulators and switches2-4 to be polarizationinsensitive. However, the problems remain in the limitation of the operating voltage range, the reduction of power saturation level, or the low extinction ratio.
