Abstract
An integrated laser/modulator ('ILM') operating with reduced chirping is formed on a single semiconductor substrate. A reduction in chirping and any resultant wavelength dispersion is realized by precisely controlling the length of a window region incorporated in the ILM in order to isolate the ILM's active regions from any residual reflections.
