Abstract

We developed compact (1.136 mm/sup 2/) eight-channel wavelength selectable microarray DFB-LDs with monolithically integrated 8/spl times/1 MMI combiner, S0A, and EA-modulator. The wavelength tuning range of 15.3 nm with uniform device characteristics and 2.5 Gbit/s modulation performance were successfully demonstrated.
