Electroabsorption modulator (100) having a layer sequence
of at least five sequential layers, having at least one light absorption layer
(106) which is arranged between the first layer (101) and the third
layer (102) and is set up to generate charge carriers upon irradiation of
light (108) of a specific wavelength, and having at least one storage layer
(104) which is arranged between the third layer (102) and the fifth
layer (103) and is set up to store charge carriers.
