Abstract
In this paper, the basic principle of operation, design issues, limitations, recent developments and emerging research trends on wide-bandwidth lasers and modulators for radio-frequency photonic applications are reviewed. The topics covered are wide-bandwidth lasers, lumped and traveling-wave electroabsorption modulators, traveling-wave LiNbO/sub 3/, GaAs, and polymer modulators.Keywords
