: Electro-absorption based amplified modulators provide a realistic solution for colorless 10Gb/s uncooled ONUs. Being compatible with current packaging technologies they will bring the required cost reduction. However, an increased power budget capability has still to be demonstrated. ©2010 Optical Society of America
