Monolithic integration of InGaAs/InP DFB lasers and InGaAs/InAlAs MQW optical modulators

Abstract
The first successful monolithic integration of InGaAsP/InP distributed feedback (DFB) lasers and InGaAs/InAlAs multiple quantum well (MQW) optical modulators using LPE (liquid phase epitaxy)/MBE (modlecular beam epitaxy) hybrid growth reported. A 14% light output modulation is observed in this integrated device.
