In the last decades, various solutions have been proposed to increase the modulation bandwidth and consequently the transmission bit rate of integrated semiconductor lasers. In this manuscript we discuss a design procedure for a recently proposed laser structure realized with the integration of two DBR lasers. Design guidelines will be proposed and dynamic small and large signal simulations, calculated using a Finite Difference Traveling Wave numerical simulator, will be performed to confirm the design results and the effectiveness of the analyzed integrated configuration to achieve a direct modulation bandwidth up to 80 GHz
