Abstract :
The self cascading of an electroabsorption modulator (EAM) with commercially available components improves the switching performance of a single electroabsorption modulator. The improved performance is demonstrated in 160 to 40 Gbit/s demultiplexing experiments and 40 GHz pulse generation.
