Abstract

In this paper, we describe 850 nm oxide VCSEL array technologies being developed at Emcore Optical Devices. We demonstrate the excellent performance, uniformity and reliability of oxide VCSEL arrays operating at 2.5Gb/s per channel which are entering into high volume production. Due to the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth by high-bit-rate data communications links, VCSELs operating at even higher bandwidths are needed. We discuss the development of oxide VCSELs capable of transmitting 10 Gb/s for application in the 10 gigabit Ethernet and other emerging high-aggregate bandwidth standards.
