40-Gb/s Modulator with Monolithically Integrated Tunable Optical Dispersion Compensator
24 September 2006
We monolithically integrate a two-tap optical equalizer (OEQ) with an electro-absorption modulator on InP. Using this OEQ as a tunable optical dispersion compensator, we demonstrate a 40-Gb/s transmitter with a dispersion tolerance range of 280ps/nm.
