摘要：

We report the first room-temperature observation of Wannier-Stark localization under waveguide configuration in a short-period InGaAs-InAlAs superlattice. Using the "oblique" transition connecting a hole localized in a well with an electron localized in the adjacent well we have achieved a modulator having a 20 dB extinction ratio and a 3 dB attenuation with a drive voltage as low as 0.8 V. Our device is a 560-μm-long waveguide operating at 1.55 μm under TE polarization mode.
