Integrated optics intensity modulators in the GaAs/AlGaAs system

With the emergence of fiber based links operating at 13 microns the need for high speed fiber compatible intensity modulators has increased significantly. We report on the development of a fiber pigtailed GaAs/AlGai. As based integrated optics Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator with speeds in excess of 3 GHz. 1.© (1991) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
