Summary :

The permissible optical input power of a semiconductor optical switch/modulator for maintaining high performances was derived by taking account of reduction of internal electric field due to absorption-induced photo-current. It was found that the extinction ratio degrades with the increase of absorbed optical power. The permissible optical input power, at which the extinction ratio decreases 3 dB, was found to be higher than 20 mW for reflection type optical switch/modulator.
