We show that the insertion of ultra thin layers of barrier material in InGaAs quantum wells allows separate control of the working wavelength, barrier height and quantum well thickness in InGaAs-AlGaInAs quantum well electroabsorption modulators, resulting in a drastic improvement of the overall performances of these devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
