A 4-channel distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser array with incorporation of a grating reflector utilizing reconstruction-equivalent-chirp technique is theoretically studied and experimentally demonstrated. By integrating with a grating reflector, 40% increase of slope efficiency, about 10mA decrease of threshold current and 7dB increase of side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) are achieved with a deviation of wavelength spacing being less than 0.07nm. The SMSRs of all the lasers are higher than 60dB.
