ABSTRACT:
Provided is a double waveguide electroabsorption modulator, in which two spot size converters are integrated between first and second optical waveguides, thereby reducing an insertion loss between an optical fiber and an optical modulator while favorably operating even in high input optical power. Therefore, the electroabsorption modulator can stably operate in higher input optical power while reducing an optical coupling loss and an optical confinement factor (OCF).
