Paper Abstract
The use of oxide confined VCSELs in datacom applications is demonstrated. The devices exhibit low threshold currents of approximately 3 mA and low electrical series resistance of about 50 (Omega) . The emission wavelength is in the 850 nm range. Life times of the devices are several million hours under normal operating conditions. VCSEL arrays are employed in a high performance parallel optical link called PAROLITM. This optical ink provides 12 parallel channels with a total bandwidth exceeding 12 Gbit/s. The VCSELs optimized for the parallel optical link show excellent threshold current uniformity between channels of < 50 (mu) A. The array life time drops compared to a single device, but is still larger than 1 million hours.
