Optical modulation at around 1550 nm in an InGaAlAs optical waveguide containing an InGaAs/AlAs resonant tunneling diode

We report electroabsorption modulation of light at around 1550 nm in a unipolar InGaAlAs optical waveguide containing an InGaAs/AlAs double-barrier resonant tunneling diode ~RTD!. The RTD peak-to-valley transition increases the electric field across the waveguide, which shifts the core material absor...
