| Abstract: | The first integrated sampled-grating distributed Bragg reflector (SGDBR) laser-semiconductor optical amplifier-Mach-Zehnder modulator transmitter is presented. Devices have 3 dB bandwidth ranging from 13-18 GHz corresponding to electrodes lengths that range between 200-300 /spl mu/m long. This corresponds to a V/sub pi/ of 4.8-6.2 V. |
