  • Abstract
    This report describes a 1.3-μm surface-normal asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulator using the Wannier-Stark effect of an InP/InGaAsP superlattice. The extinction ratio of 11.6 dB is achieved at 14 V. The insertion loss is 9.9 dB. This is the first time an extinction ratio of over 10 dB has been obtained in surface-normal optical modulators operating at 1.3 μm
