We report the use of a spatially resolved x-ray microdiffraction technique for the structural study of an integrated laser-modulator system. The monochromatic (11 keV) x-ray beam microfocused to less than 1 {mu}m in the vertical direction was obtained using a phase zone plate. The photon flux at the focal spot exceeded 3{times}10{sup 10}photons/s/0.01{percent}bw/{mu}m{sup 2}. The intense flux density and high spatial resolution of the focused beam was used to study the structure of a laser-modulator system, which is a 1-{mu}m-wide and 1-mm-long multi-quantum well structure on an InP substrate. The superlattice d-spacing and the strain field in the direction normal to the diffracting planes were mapped as a function of position along the length of the device. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
