An optical device including a substrate, a distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser formed on the substrate and including a diffraction grating having an asymmetrical lambda/4 phase shift region, the diffraction grating extending along an optical axis of the DFB semiconductor laser, and a field absorbing modulator integrated with the DFB semiconductor laser on the substrate for modulating a light wave emitted from the DFB semiconductor laser, the optical modulator having a facet reflection rate between 0.01 and 0.02% at an output end thereof, the diffraction grating having a kappaL value between 1 and 1.2. The proper combinations of the kappaL value of the diffraction grating and the reflection rate of the output facet of the modulator of the DFB semiconductor laser can fabricate the source for integrating the modulator having the excellent quality with a higher yield and lower cost.
