摘要
We report results on the performance of a normally on, electroabsorptive, surface-normal Fabry-Perot reflection modulator. The device employs a cavity with a 100 angstrom GaAs/100 angstrom Al0.3Ga0.7As multiple quantum well and top and bottom quarter-wave mirrors with 4 and 19.5 periods, respectively. Very low values of off-state reflectance were measured, giving a maximum contrast ratio > 1000 (30 dB) and a maximum reflectance difference of 64.3%. The contrast ratio is, to our knowledge, the largest reported to date.
