Problems solved by technology

However, these structures with excellent properties require complex fabrication processes, including epitaxial growth that is difficult to fully control and additional steps to trim the vertical confinement layer.
This technique also yields structures whose excessive parasitic capacitance does not allow high-throughput use of

Abstract

The field of the invention is that of integrated optical emission devices comprising a laser emission section and a section for modulating the optical power emitted by the laser, also known as ILM devices, the acronym standing for Integrated Laser Modulator. The invention is aimed at an ILM device comprising a laser section (1) and a modulation section (2) such as electro absorption modulator, formed in a PIN type common structure, where the structure successively comprises a substrate (10) in n doped semiconductor material, buried active zone (11) and p doped vertical confinement layer (16) and a semi-insulating lateral confinement layer (15). The laser section has a blocking layer (17) in n doped semiconductor material disposed between the semi-insulating lateral confinement layer and vertical confinement layers. The performance and the reliability of the final device is thus improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the invention is a light emitting device comprising an integrated component comprising at least one laser emitting part and a part for modulating the optical power emitted by the laser. These systems are also known as ILM (short for Integrated Laser Modulator) or EML (short for Electro-absorption Modulated Laser). The modulating section is often referred to as EAM (short for ElectroAbsorption Modulator). [0002] These devices are primarily used in high-throughput digital communications. Throughput typically ranges from a few gigabits to tens of gigabits per second. Background technique [0003] The laser beam can be modulated in three different ways. The first method involves direct modulation of the source laser by controlling the feed current of the source laser. However, this technique does not allow it to achieve the performance necessary for high throughput. It is also possible to use an external modulator physically separate fr...
