Abstract
1.56-1.61 mu m range modulator-integrated distributed-feedback laser d iodes (DFB/MODs) of different wavelengths are successfully demonstrate d for applications in 1.58 mu m band WDM systems. They were fabricated on a single wafer by using narrow-stripe selective MOVPE with a novel growth-time-modulation (GTM) technique. Uniform and high-performance characteristics such as a threshold current less than 5 mA and an exti nction ratio larger than 16 dB at -2 V were achieved.
