Abstract :
High speed InP-based travelling wave electrode (TWE) Mach-Zehnder modulators are presented and their integration capabilities to fabricate next generations of compact and high capacity transmitter components by utilizing so-called “monolithic-on-hybrid” integration approaches are emphasized.
