Abstract
Recently, InGaP/InAlGaP material system has received a lot of attention as a means of reaching visible wavelengths. Ridge waveguide lasers,1 as well as surface emitting lasers2 have been successfully fabricated and visible light (~650 ran) emission has been observed. Such devices have found important applications in the plastic fiber communications.3 There has been virtually no effort to demonstrate another important optical component in this material system, the optical modulator.
