Abstract
We report on an integrated photonic transmitter of up to 100 MHz
repetition rate, which emits pulses centered at 850 nm with arbitrary
amplitude and polarization. The source is suitable for free space quantum
key distribution applications. The whole transmitter, with the optical and
electronic components integrated, has reduced size and power consumption. In
addition, the optoelectronic components forming the transmitter can be
space-qualified, making it suitable for satellite and future space
missions.
