Abstract :
We present a new acousto-optoelectronic multi-quantum-well modulator structure for optical telecommunication. Inserting the multi-quantum-well GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs between two AlAs/GaAlAs Bragg mirrors constituting a Fabry-Perot cavity increases the structure performances. Experimental and theoretical results are in good agreement
