Small volume (0.6 cc) surface mount 10-Gbit/s Mini Flat Mach-Zehnder modulator module

We developed a small size InP Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator module for use in a small form transponder, which is only 13.8x8.9x4.9 mm3 in size (0.6 cc). We confirmed a 100 km transmission through SMF with a 10-Gbit/s NRZ signal and a 220 km transmission with a 10-Gbit/s optical duobinary signal.
