In this paper an overview is presented of results obtained with mode-locked semiconductor laser systems that are monolithically integrated using a standardized photonic integration platform based on InP. The laser systems are operating around 1550nm. In this technology platform the basic components that form the laser circuits such as amplifiers, passive waveguides and filters, as well as the semiconductor processing are standardized. Several of the possibilities that such a standardized technology offer are demonstrated by a number of examples of realized devices such as low repetition rate mode-locked lasers, a stabilized comb system and a wide frequency comb source.
