Abstract

The demand for high-capacity, long-haul transmission systems continues to increase at a rapid rate, with the pace expected to accelerate over the next decade. Future SONET networks operating at 10 Gbit/s and above are expected to employ high-speed optical modulators with very low chirp and a high extinction ratio. Asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulators (AFPMs) can achieve an extremely high extinction ratio by nulling the reflectance during the off state.1 High-speed modulation can also be obtained by using the vertical-cavity geometry with a low parasitic capacitance.2 In this paper we discuss 1.5-µm operation of AFPMs with a modulation bandwidth exceeding 20 GHz.
