Paper Abstract
Recent VCSEL drivers for high data rate parallel transceivers are designed to DC couple to the VCSELs. These drivers
normally include no back termination to save power. Due to mechanical restrictions, the wire bond between the driver's
output and the laser is usually quite long. Such laser drivers in a transceiver can cause excessive optical eye distortions
(overshoot, pattern dependent jitter, etc.) to a VCSEL which performs well when driven by a 50Ohm source. Therefore
more careful design optimizations (of the VCSEL's intrinsic laser behavior and its parasitic elements) are needed for
such applications. In most cases, this is the only way to achieve good transceiver performance for a given VCSEL driver
IC. In this talk, we present Emcore's recent effort to optimize the 850nm 10G VCSEL array for the real world laser
drivers used in parallel transceivers and active cables.
