Excitonic Refractive Index Change in High Purity GaAs Modulator at Room Temperature for Optical Fiber Communication Network

Description

In this paper, we have compared and analyzed the
electroabsorption properties between with and without excitonic
effect bulk in high purity GaAs spatial light modulator for optical
fiber communication network. The eletroabsorption properties such
as absorption spectra, change in absorption spectra, change in
refractive index and extinction ration has been calculated. We have
also compared the result of absorption spectra and change in
absorption spectra with the experimental results and found close
agreement with experimental results.
