Operating conditions of all-optical asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulators are discussed based on the experimental results of two modulators with different nonlinear spacers of GaAlInAs/AlInAs and strained-layer InGaAs/GaAs multi-quantum wells. These modulators operate at wavelengths of 1.3 and 0.92 µm, and offer an on/off contrast ratio of greater than 1000:1. An “on” state with an insertion loss of 2.2 dB existed for pump intensities of 30 kW/cm 2 and 3 kW/cm 2, respectively. The corresponding carrier densities for these pump intensities are approximately the same, at 4×1017 cm –3. The switching pump beam intensity of the modulator and its response time are analyzed in terms of saturation carrier density and carrier lifetime of the nonlinear spacer material. Requirements for the nonlinear spacer material and device parameters are discussed for low power and fast modulators.

In this study a quantum well/quantum wire (QW/QWR) structure grown on a grating of V-grooves has been characterized by a technique related to chemical lattice imaging. This technique makes it possible to extract quantitative information from high resolution images.The QW/QWR structure was grown on a GaAs substrate patterned with a grating of V-grooves. The growth rate was approximately three monolayers per second without growth interruption at the interfaces. On this substrate a barrier of nominally Al0.35 Ga0.65 As was deposited to a thickness of approximately 300 nm using metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy . On top of the Al0.35Ga0.65As barrier a 3.5 nm GaAs quantum well was deposited and to conclude the structure an additional approximate 300 nm Al0.35Ga0.65 As was deposited. The GaAs QW deposited in this manner turns out to be significantly thicker at the bottom of the grooves giving a QWR running along the grooves. During the growth of the barriers an approximately 30 nm wide Ga-rich region is formed at the bottom of the grooves giving a Ga-rich stripe extending from the bottom of each groove to the surface.
