Research abstract
WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A NEW CLASS OF OPTICAL EMITTING DEVICE FOR USE IN COMPUTER OPTICAL INTERCONNECT SYSTEM. THE NEW DEVICE IS AN ELECTROABSORPTION MODULATOR-SUPER-LUMINESCENT DIODE (EAM-SLK). THIS DEVICE DOES NOT SUFFER FROM THE SHORT COMINGS OF SEMICONDUCTOR LASERS SUCH AS, VARIABLE THRESHOLD, DIFFICULTY OF INTEGRATION AND SUCCEPTABILITY TO MODEL NOISE. THESE THREE SHORTCOMINGS ARE ELIMINATED IN THE EAM-SLD.
