Abstract(in English) We developed a low-driving voltage, high-speed InP-based traveling-wave electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator. It has a novel n-i-n isotype heterostructure to reduce both electrical signal loss and the optical loss caused by the p-type cladding layer. This device provides a large modulation bandwidth of more than 40GHz. We have also developed a compact push-pull driven modulator module. We obtained error-free operation for a 40-Gbit/s NRZ signal in a push-pull configuration with a very low driving voltage of 1.3 Vpp.
