Abstract

We report on the design and experimental results of monolithically integrated optoelectronic devices containing distributed feedback (DFB) laser, electroabsorption modulator (EAM), and semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). Common InGaAlAs multiple quantum well (MQW) layers are used in all device sections. The incorporation of local lateral metal gratings in the DFB section enables device fabrication by single-step epitaxial growth. The emission wavelength is λ=1.3 micrometer. More than 2 mW single-mode fiber-coupled output power as well as 10 dB/2 V static extinction ratio have been achieved. Modulation experiments clearly show 10 Gbit/s capability.
