The demand of bandwidth capacity is rising exponentially in recent years due to the spread of high-speed Internet. For low-cost Metropolitan Area Network (WAN), operating wavelength at 1.3 µm is chosen. Conventionally, optoelectronic devices operating at 1.3 µm were based on InP substrates. GaAs is...
