A monolithic integrated component (10) comprises a plurality of sections
(21, 22) including a section (21) constituting a laser having a cavity
delimited by a partially reflecting reflector and at least one other
section (22) adjacent said laser section (21). The partially reflecting
reflector (11) is disposed between the laser section (21) and one of the
adjacent sections (22) and is a Bragg reflector grating (11) that allows
multimode operation of the laser (21).
