  • Broadening of the resonance peak due to field ionization occurred at electric fields above 25 kV/cm.
  • Maximum absorption change was identified at 1317 nm, with an insertion loss of ~8 dB and extinction ratio of ~5 dB at 5 V reverse bias.
  • Conclusions:

    • InAs quantum dots show significant potential as the active region for EAMs.
    • Further research efforts are expected to enhance the performance of QD-EAMs for optical applications.
