Laser device and manufacturing method

Higher modulation speed is achieved for a laser device comprising: an active layer structure between a semiconductor substrate and a grating structure configured for manipulation, comprising a common active layer for generation of laser light; a first facet spatially adjacent to one end of and a second facet spatially adjacent to an opposing end of the active layer structure, the first facet emitting laser light, the second facet being opposite the first, both comprising anti-reflection coating; the grating structure comprising spatially adjacent integral grating sections; a cladding structure for optically confining the laser light and adapted for arranging the grating structure between the active layer and the cladding structure; a DFB structure having a first grating section, at least one DBR structure having a second grating section, the first and second grating sections sharing the common active layer for at least the integral grating sections; the DFB structure comprising a first optical function as lasing function and the at least one DBR structure comprising a second one as optical feedback.
