Monolithically integrated tunable DFB laser array and Mach-Zehnder modulator

A monolithically integrated tunable transmitter consisting of tunable DFB laser array and Mach-Zehnder modulator is developed. Power penalty in the chromatic dispersion range of ±800 ps/nm with zero-chirp operation is less than 0.7 dB, modulating at 10-Gbit/s NRZ signal.
