The etched mesa buried heterostructure (EMBH) distributed feedback lasers ({lambda}=1.3{mu}m) fabricated using semi-insulating InP blocking layers having bandwidths in the 12-17 GHz range at 20{sup 0}C, 15 mW (18 GHz at 20 mW). The bandwidth decreases with increasing temperature at low powers. For the practical range of interest from 20{sup 0}C to 40{sup 0}C, the observed decrease in bandwidth is 1.0 +- 0.5 GHz at 15 mW output power. A large sublinearity in the light versus current characteristics is generally associated with a rollover in the bandwidth power curve.
