Abstract :
Low power penalty 80 to 10 Gbit/s demultiplexing using a novel standing-wave enhanced electroabsorption modulator is reported. In this new design, an electrical standing-wave pattern is formed deliberately along the travelling-wave electrodes, reducing the driving voltage required for high-speed demultiplexing.
