Abstract

In designing devices with packaged arrays having minimum voltage and high bandwidth operation, a 1 × 18 array of asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulators (AFPMs) with a 250 μm pitch was developed. Microwave measurements were carried out employing an HP8510C network analyzer. S₁₁ at a bias of 2V was quantified to depict the transmission line and device. In addition, a Ti:sapphire laser was applied s the optical source for the S₂₁ measurements. The AFPM was instituted into a gigabit optical data transmission testbed and the bit error rate performance assessed at 2 Gbit/s. The simulated and measured data for the AFPMs were in congruence based on the microwave characterization and model parameter extraction of low voltage. However, a modulation bandwidths with a surplus of 4 GHz was achieved.
