摘要:
We report the first measurement of modulation bandwidth in electron transfer quantum well modulators. A device with 1 pF capacitance provides ≳10 dB optical modulation depth at 1.537 &mgr;m wavelength with a 3 dB electrical bandwidth of 5.7 GHz. Optical pump‐probe measurements indicate that the fundamental response time is determined by the voltage‐dependent speed of carrier escape from the well.
