Abstract

The monolithic integration of lasers and modulators is an attractive approach for the manufacture of compact, low-chirp light sources with low packaging costs for high bit rate (10 Gb/s) long haul fiber optic transmission systems. In this presentation we describe the fabrication of an InGaAsP-InP based Mach/Zehnder phase modulator with a gain-coupled DFB QW laser
