Abstract

A Mach-Zehnder interferometer was realized in GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum well (DQW) p-1-n semiconductor structure, integrated with Fabry-Perot lasers on the same chip. The laser facet on the modulator side was etched facet. The modulator was tested using a Ti:sapphire laser at different wavelengths. Away from the bandgap, a figure of merit of 75°.V-1.mm-1 was obtained. Closer to the modulator bandgap, the switching contrast was around 1 dB.
