Abstract
Optical modulators using the quantum confined stark effect1 in GaAs/AlxGa1−x As multiple quantum wells (MQWs) have been studied extensively for their potential applications in integrated optoelectronic devices and optical computing systems. This paper investigates the increased performance that can be achieved by operating the device at low temperatures and by improving the quality of the MQW layers.
