Abstract

Packaging technologies for a broadband and narrowband modulator with a traveling wave electro-absorption modulator (TWEAM) device were developed. In developing a broadband modulator, the effects of the device and packaging designs on the broadband performance were investigated. The optimized designs were obtained through a simulation with the result that we developed a broadband modulator with a 3 dB bandwidth of 38 GHz in the electrical-to-optical (E/O) response, an electrical return loss of less than -10 dB at up to 26 GHz, an rms jitter of 1.832 ps, and an extinction ratio of 5.38 dB in a 40 Gbps non-return to zero (NRZ) eye diagram. For analog application, the effect of the RF termination scheme on the fractional bandwidth was studied. The microstrip line with a double stub as a matching circuit and a laser trimming process were used to obtain an $S_{11}$ of -34.58 dB at 40 GHz and 2.9 GHz bandwidth of less than -15 dB.
