Influence of Modulation Bandwidth on Fiber Transmission Using an Electroabsorption Modulator
نویسنده
چکیده
Frequency chirping induced in an electorabsorption (EA) modulator can degrade transmission performance because of the chromatic dispersion of fiber. This letter studies the frequency chirping in an EA modulator from the viewpoint of the influence of the modulation bandwidth. Both simulations and experiments, in which fiber transmission was carried out applying modulation signals of different bandwidths to an EA modulator, show that a large bandwidth causes small degradation in the transmission performance. This result is attributed to the short chirping time that occurs when a large bandwidth signal is applied. key words: frequency chirping, electroabsorption, electrooptic modulation, optical fiber communication

A distributed III-V-on-Si electroabsorption modulator based on an asymmetric segmented electrode has been developed on the hybrid silicon platform for the 1.3 μm transmission window. The measured modulation response shows a 2 dB drop at 67 GHz and an extrapolated 3 dB bandwidth of 74 GHz. Large signal measurements show clearly open eye diagrams at 50 Gb/s. An extinction ratio of 9.6 dB for back...
متن کاملTransmission Characteristics of Radio Over Fiber (ROF) in Wireless Optical Communication Networks
For high bit rates and long haul optical communication systems using a single-mode fiber, a modulator with low chirp and small size are demanded. An electroabsorption modulator is very attractive because it has some advantages of not only low chirp and small size but also the elimination of polarization control through monolithic integration with a distributed feedback (DFB) laser. The modulati...
