چکیده
Philips recently released a new VCSEL and photodiode product family for the fast growing FDR InfiniBandTM generation. In this work we review the influence of production process variations on VCSEL characteristics, the FDR VCSEL transmission behavior as well as wear-out reliability characteristics. Data collected during an initial 15 wafers pilot production batch verify that FDR VCSEL manufacturing reached mature volume production level. The VCSEL for the next EDR (26Gbps) InfiniBandTM generation is currently being developed at Philips. The paper presents characteristics of the first EDR VCSEL iteration.

Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers: Large Signal Dynamics and Silicon Photonics Integration
The GaAs-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is the standard light source in today’s optical interconnects, due to its energy efficiency, low cost, and high speed already at low drive currents. The latest commercial VCSELs operate at data rates of up to 28Gb/s, but it is expected that higher speeds will be required in the near future. One important parameter for the speed is th...
متن کاملHigh-speed optical interconnects with 850nm VCSELS and advanced modulation formats
We present our recent work on high-speed optical interconnects with advanced modulation formats and directly modulated 850 nm VCSELs. Data transmission at nearly 100 Gbps was achieved with 4-PAM. Forward error correction, equalization and preemphasis are also explored. The system aspects of the advanced modulation formats and their impact on the VCSEL requirements are discussed. Requirements on...
متن کاملParallel transport of biological cells using individually addressable VCSEL arrays as optical tweezers
We have demonstrated the use of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) for optical trapping and active manipulation of live biological cells and microspheres. We have experimentally verified that the Laguerre–Gaussian laser mode output from the VCSEL functions just as well as the traditional Gaussian fundamental laser mode for optically trapping biological cells and may be preferable ...

An effective heat dissipation of uncooled 400-Gbps (16×25-Gbps) form-factor pluggable (CDFP) optical transceiver module employing chip-on-board multimode 25-Gbps vertical-surface-emitting-laser (VCSEL) and 25-Gbps photodiode (PD) arrays mounted on a brass metal core embedded within a printed circuit board (PCB) is proposed and demonstrated. This new scheme of the hollow PCB filling with thermal...
متن کاملAll-VCSEL based digital coherent detection link for multi Gbit/s WDM passive optical networks.
We report on experimental demonstration of a digital coherent detection link fully based on vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) for the transmitter as well as for the local oscillator light source at the receiver side. We demonstrate operation at 5 Gbps at a 1550 nm wavelength with record receiver sensitivity of -36 dBm after transmission over 40 km standard single mode fiber. Digi...
