Abstract

A 1.60-μm laser diode and electroabsorption modulator monolithically integrated with a dual-waveguide spot-size converter output for low-loss coupling to cleaved single-mode optical fiber is demonstrated. The devices emit in a single transverse and quasi-single longitudinal mode with a side mode suppression ratio of 25.6 dB. These devices exhibit a 3-dB modulation bandwidth of 16.0 GHz, and modulator extinction ratios of 16.2 dB dc. The beam divergence angle is about 7.3×10.6 deg, resulting in 3.0-dB coupling loss with cleaved single-mode optical fiber.
