Abstract
Advanced fibre optics telecommunication systems rely on high performan ce components amongst which photonic integrated circuits (PICs) play a major role. In particular, there has been a growing need for low chir p optical sources, such as externally modulated distributed feedback ( DFB) lasers. In this paper, the various monolithic integration schemes of multiple quantum well DFB lasers and electro-absorption modulators are reviewed and typical applications of these devices are briefly pr esented.
