We have developed hybrid integrated DFB-Master-Oscillator-Power-Amplifier modules (MOPA) for portable quantum optical sensors. This application typically requires the optical frequency of the laser to be stabilized to δ ν / ν = 10⁻¹⁰, in some cases even down to 10⁻¹⁵. Frequency stabilization is commonly realized by controlling (modulating) the injection current of the laser diodes. In order to enable high servo bandwidths as mentioned above, the module hosts an electrical interface for a close-to-chip RF modulation.

We will present a MOPA module designed for rubidium spectroscopy at 780 nm achieving an optical output power > 1 W (cw) and an intrinsic linewidth of < 50 kHz. Furthermore, we discuss the transfer functions of the system for modulation of the injection current of both the master oscillator and the power amplifier.
