  We report on the spectral properties of a diode laser with a tunable external
cavity in integrated optics. Even though the external cavity is short compared
to other small-bandwidth external cavity lasers, the spectral bandwidth of this
tunable laser is as small as 25 kHz (FWHM), at a side-mode suppression ratio
(SMSR) of 50 dB. Our laser is also able to access preset wavelengths in as
little as 200 us and able to tune over the full telecom C-band (1530 nm - 1565
nm).
