Frequency response of an optical modulator, operating at λ = 0.83 μm and utilizing the linear electro‐optic (Pockels) effect in a Mach‐Zehnder configuration using an Al x Ga 1‐x As/Al y Ga 1‐y As double heterostructure, is analyzed. We show that in semiconductor modulators, electroabsorption should be taken into account in optimizing the frequency response of the device. © 1993 John Wiley & sons, Inc.
