Fast amplitude modulation up to 1.5 GHz of mid-IR free-space beams at room-temperature

Broadband integrated electrical modulators are key components for photonic systems. Here, the authors present a room temperature mid-IR free-space amplitude modulator based on a semiconductor heterostructure that exploits the change in reflectance occurring at the change between weak and strong coup...
