Abstract
A small signal amplitude modulation bandwidth of 20 GHz has been obtained with a three-section tunable DBR laser fabricated with semi-insulating current blocking layers grown by hydride VPE. The modulation bandwidth and laser linewidth are strongly dependent on the position of the lasing mode relative to the Bragg reflection peak.<>
