Electro-absorption modulator
They can be operated at very high speed; a modulation bandwidth of tens of gigahertz can be achieved, which makes these devices useful for optical fiber communication.
EML packs a laser and modulator onto a single chip, which gives it cleaner modulation at high speeds compared to directly modulated alternatives. That's why you'll find EML in most 800G DR8 ...
