Quantum dot (QD) superluminescent diodes (SLDs) exhibiting 8 mW and 95 nm full-width at half-maximum centered at 1270 nm are demonstrated with a flat-topped spectral profile. This is achieved using $3 times 2$ dots in compositionally modulated wells technique. Furthermore, techniques for realization of high-power SLDs are also demonstrated. A continuous-wave output power of 42 mW is achieved for narrowband devices centered at 1250 nm.
