Drive circuitry to provide a DC bias voltage and a high frequency modulation current to an electroabsorption modulator (EAM), including a high frequency modulation current source, a coupling capacitor, and a first DC lead. The drive circuitry may include termination circuitry. One lead of the high frequency modulation current source is electrically coupled to the first semiconductor type contact of the EAM and the other lead of the high frequency modulation current source is electrically coupled to an AC ground. The coupling capacitor includes a first electrode electrically coupled to the second semiconductor type contact of the EAM, a second electrode electrically coupled to the AC ground, and a dielectric layer between the electrodes. The first DC lead is electrically coupled to the EAM-side capacitor electrode and configured to be coupled to a first DC potential.
