    Abstract: An EML assembly is provided that has and EAM and a DFB, with the DFB having an asymmetric ¼ wavelength phase shift positioned at a location that is in front of the center of the periodic structure of the DFB. In addition, the EML assembly has a tilted or bent waveguide that reduces reflections occurring at the front end facet, thereby enabling the EAM to produce a relatively high POUT level while also achieving reduced chirp and high single-mode yield in the DFB. By providing the EML assembly with a tilted or bent waveguide, the reflections at the front end facet are reduced without having to use an AR coating on the front end facet that has an extremely low reflectivity. By avoiding the need to use an AR coating on the front end facet that has an extremely low reflectivity, the AR coating that is used on the front end facet can be made using standard sputter deposition techniques to enable higher manufacturing yields to be achieved.

The assembly also includes a plurality of waveguides coupled to the lasers to receive therefrom the respective emission wavelengths as well as an optical coupler coupled to the waveguides to receive thereby the emissions wavelengths from the lasers. An optical amplifier is coupled to the optical coupler to amplify the emission wavelengths of the lasers coupled via the optical coupler.
