InGaAsP MQW electroabsorption modulators with compressive strain in the wells and tensile strain in the barriers provide easier escape of photogenerated holes and operate at higher intensities before suffering saturation. Hole escape from wells is enhanced by a reduced energy difference between heavy-hole states in the well and light-hole states in the barrier.
