A graded base SiGe HBT optical modulator has high-speed, high optical modulation efficiency, small footprint. In this paper, we present our work in the design and modeling of an HBT optical modulator, its driver circuit and fabrication and integration. A high-efficient HBT electro-optical (EO) modulator with π phase-shift length of 22.6 μm is investigated. The speed of this modulator is calculated...
