A photonic device including an array of lasers providing light to an array of electro-absorption modulators, both on a common substrate. In some embodiments the lasers are in a closely spaced array and lase at different wavelengths, providing with associated electro-absorption modulators a compact wavelength...http://www.google.de/patents/US20020183002?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US20020183002 - Switched laser array modulation with integral electroabsorption modulator
