Abstract
We present a method to achieve vector modulation in an electroabsorption modulator with help of a directly modulated laser. We discuss the challenges involved and demonstrate the combined phase and amplitude modulation theoretically and experimentally using a commercial electroabsorption modulator integrated laser.
