Abstract

In this paper three options for very-high bit rate integrated electro-absorption modulated laser (EML) structures are investigated using electromagnetic simulation. A physics based distributed equivalent circuit model taking the slowwave propagation characteristics of the modulation signal into account is proposed for the electro-absorption modulator (EAM)electrode arrangement. This model makes it possible to apply an EM/circuit co-simulation approach to estimate the electrical to optical transmission bandwidth for the integrated EML. It is shown that a transmission bandwidth of 70 GHz seems feasible with the investigated EML structures if the driving impedance is reduced to 25 . It is also shown that the influence of electromagnetic cross-talk between components can be neglected in the estimation of the transmission bandwidth even in the case of very short separation zones. Finally, a slight decrease in transmission bandwidth is observed for an EML structure without ground pillars.
