Abstract
Monolithically integrated single frequency lasers and electroabsorption modulators are attracting considerable interest as optical sources for long-haul and high-bit-rate fiber-optic links. Their frequency chirpless nature has indeed allowed nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) transmission beyond the chromatic dispersion limit. They also offer a great potential as soliton pulse generators. This paper discusses the many integration schemes devised for their realization with particular emphasis on the identical active layer (IAL) approach. Recent progress in their high-speed applications is reported.
