Saturation Intensity and Time Response of InGaAs-InGaP MQW Optical Modulators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report modulation saturation and time response measurements on InCaAs-InGaP MQW modulators. The measurements yield a saturation intensity of (3.7 + 0.1) kWlcm' for a 0-10 V swing and switching times between 10 and 90 ns, depending on the bias voltage and incident light intensity. The observed dependence indicates that field screening due to carrier build-up is the dominant physical mechanism determining both the speed and the saturation intensity. This conclusion is supported by results of theoretical calculations.

Analytical Study of Optical Bi-Stability of a Single-Bus Resonator Based on InGaAs Micro-Ring Array
In this paper, for the first time to our knowledge, we investigate the optical bi-stability in a compact parallel array of micro- ring resonators with 5μm radius, induced by optical nonlinearity. Due to the nature of perfect light confinement, resonance and accumulation process in a ring resonator, optical nonlinear effects, even at small optical power of a few milliwatts in this structure are ...
متن کاملOptimization of buffer layers for InGaAsÕAlGaAs PIN optical modulators grown on GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy
In this work we compare the effect of the buffer layer on the device quality and surface morphology of strained InGaAs/AlGaAs PIN multiple quantum well ~MQW! modulators. We examine GaAs buffer layers and linearly graded InGaAs buffer layers. Our results indicate that for lower indium concentrations in the quantum wells ~less than about 23%! better device performance and surface morphology are o...
متن کاملInGaP/InGaAs Doped-Channel Direct-Coupled Field-Effect Transistors Logic with Low Supply Voltage
InGaP/InGaAs doped-channel direct-coupled field-effect transistor logic (DCFL) with relatively low supple voltage is demonstrated by two-dimensional analysis. In the integrated enhancement/depletion-mode transistors, subband and two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) are formed in the InGaAs strain channels, which substantially increase the channel concentration and decrease the drain-to-source sa...
متن کاملOptical coupling from InGaAs subcell to InGaP subcell in InGaP/InGaAs/Ge multi-junction solar cells.
Spatially-resolved electroluminescence (EL) images in the triple-junction InGaP/InGaAs/Ge solar cell have been investigated to demonstrate the subcell coupling effect. Upon irradiating the infrared light with an energy below bandgap of the active layer in the top subcell, but above that in the middle subcell, the EL of the top subcell quenches. By analysis of EL intensity as a function of irrad...
متن کاملNanopillar lasers directly grown on silicon with heterostructure surface passivation.
Single-crystalline wurtzite InGaAs/InGaP nanopillars directly grown on a lattice-mismatched silicon substrate are demonstrated. The nanopillar growth is in a core-shell manner and gives a sharp, defect-free heterostructure interface. The InGaP shell provides excellent surface passivation effect for InGaAs nanopillars, as attested by 50-times stronger photoluminescence intensities and 5-times gr...
