<p>A semiconductor component includes a waveguide section for guiding optical radiation, a Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) section for wavelength-selecting optical radiation received from the waveguide section and an Electro-absorption Modulator (EAM) section for modulating optical radiation received from the DBR section, in which each section has a waveguide layer for conveying the optical radiation, the sections being monolithically integrated on a common semiconductor substrate, the DBR section lying between the waveguide section and the EAM section with the waveguides of adjacent sections being butt-coupled and aligned so that optical radiation may be conveyed between adjacent sections.</p> |
