Electro-absorption modulator
Compared with an Electro-optic modulator (EOM), an EAM can operate with much lower voltages (a few volts instead of ten volts or more). They can be operated at very high speed; a modulation bandwidth
The EA bias voltage must be selected to simultaneously achieve OMA, ER, SECQ and CD penalty objectives. It's well known from industry experience that EMLs must be optimized to have good performance in high-dispersion long-reach applications (e.
