Abstract :
An equivalent RF circuit model for electroabsorption modulators (EAMs) is proposed and verified. Circuit parameters extracted from measured S11 values for an MQW EAM are used to model the modulator E/O responses. Which are found to be consistent with the measurement. The model clarifies the effect of optical power to the EAM impedance and modulation bandwidth
