Research abstract
BASED ON OUR RELATED EXPERIENCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ULTRA-WIDE BANDWIDTH LASER DIODE DRIVERS AND MULTIPLE QUANTUM WELL (MQW) OPTICAL MODULATORS, WE PROPOSE TO PERFORM A DESIGN STUDY FOR AN RF LASER DIODE MODULATOR. THIS STUDY WILL COMPARE THE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS OF LASER DIODE MODULATORS BASED ON THE MODULATION OF THE LASER INJECTION CURRENT VERSUS DESIGNS AN USING EXTERNAL MQW DEVICE APPLIED TO A TRANSPARENT SUBSTRATE. THIS EVALUATION WILL INCLUDE THERMAL ANALYSES, AN EVALUATION OF THE ELECTRICAL POWER CONSUMPTION, CIRCUIT SIMULATIONS, CONSTRUCTION OF A BREADBOARD SYSTEM, AND PROJECTIONS FOR THE DEVICE DIMENSIONS USING HYBRID THIN-FILM AND SURFACE MOUNT TECHNOLOGIES. RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS DERIVED FROM THIS INVESTIGATION WILL SERVE FOR A PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF A FUNCTIONAL DEVICE, TO BE BUILT, TESTED, AND DELIVERED IN PHASE II.
