The amplitude (AM) and frequency (FM) modulation responses of a grating assisted codirectional coupler with rear sampled grating reflector laser were measured over a 40-nm tuning range. The extracted modulation bandwidth varied between 3 and 4 GHz and parameters as parasitic cutoff, maximum relaxation frequency and K-factor were extracted from curve fittings to the AM response. The frequency modulation measurements revealed low chirp despite the large tunability of the device. The linewidth enhancement factor was calculated from the AM and FM measurements. The values ranges from three to nine for ten different operating wavelengths.
