Uncooled (0 to 85°C) and full C-band operation of a 10.7 Gbit/s InP Mach-Zehnder modulator monolithically integrated with SOA

Uncooled InP-Mach-Zehnder modulator monolithically integrated with SOA was demonstrated for 10.7 Gbit/s 1600 ps/nm transmission at C-band wavelengths. Output power was obtained over +3.2 dBm at 0-85°C with +2 dBm optical input by using SOA.
