An electro-absorption modulator comprises a waveguiding structure including a plurality of sections (201 - 205), each section having a different bandgap and at least one electrode for applying electrical bias to the section. An optical signal passing through the waveguiding structure may be modulated using the plurality of separately addressable sections, by applying a modulation signal to one or more of the sections, and electrically biasing one or more of the sections with a bias voltage, in such a manner as to achieve a predetermined level of any one or more of the parameters chirp, modulation depth and insertion loss.

L'invention concerne un modulateur à électro-absorption dont la structure de guide d'onde comprend une pluralité de sections (201 - 205), chaque section ayant une bande interdite différente et au moins une électrode pour appliquer une polarisation électrique à la section. Un signal optique traversant la structure de guide d'onde peut être modulé par la pluralité de sections adressables séparément, un signal de modulation étant appliqué à une ou plusieurs sections et une ou plusieurs sections étant soumise(s) à la tension de polarisation, afin de réaliser un niveau déterminé d'un ou de plusieurs paramètres que sont la fluctuation de longueur d'onde, la profondeur de modulation et la perte d'insertion.
