Diffused-quantum-well vertical cavity Fabry-Perot reflection modulator

Abstract

This is a first report to use diffused quantum well (DFQW) as the active cavity of the Fabry-Perot reflection modulator. Apart from the simple fabrication process of the DFQW, this material system provides a wavelength tuning range and improves the modulation properties of the device which thus is competitive with the same kind of modulator.
