Abstract

A novel npin waveguide structure for the dual-function electroabsorption modulator/detector is proposed and fabricated. With the addition of an n-layer to the conventional pin-structure, the device exhibits phototransistor behavior in the detector model. The device has an InGaAsP intrinsic layer with Franz-Keldysh electroabsorption at 1.3 micrometers wavelength. Preliminary results show optical gain in the detector mode and good modulator characteristics.
