Abstract: The review examines telecom electro-optic modulators made of group III–V compound semiconductor material composed of indium phosphide. The operation principles of modulators and issues of heterostructure and modulator design optimization are considered; the results of recent developments and the achieved parameters of modulators are presented.
Keywords: electro-optic modulator, electro-absorption modulator, InP, InGaAlAs, quantum wells, Stark effect.
