Static Characteristics of VCSELs and PIN Photodiodes for Bidirectional Standard Multimode Fiber Transmission
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the monolithic design, fabrication and static properties of 850 nm wavelength AlGaAs–GaAs-based transceiver chips with a stacked layer structure of a VCSEL and a PIN photodetector. Bidirectional data transmission via a single, two-side butt-coupled multimode fiber (MMF) is thus enabled. The approach aims at a miniaturization of transceiver chips in order to ensure compatibility with standard MMFs with core diameters of 50 and 62.5μm used predominantly in premises networks. These chips are supposed to be well suited for low-cost and compact halfand full-duplex interconnection at Gbit/s data rates over distances of a few hundred meters.

We present the static operation properties of monolithically integrated 850 nm wavelength AlGaAs/GaAs-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and PIN (p-doped– intrinsic–n-doped) photodiodes (PDs). Devices with three different epitaxial layer structures of the PDs are investigated. PDs with a 3μm thick intrinsic region show a responsivity of > 0.6A/W and have the lowest dark curr...

Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) have long been recognized as key components for optical interconnects due to their small size, high speed and low power consumption. The most common operating wavelength for VCSELs used for data transmission, using multimode fibers (MMF), is 850 nm. Other VCSELs wavelength explored are 980 nm, 1010 nm, 1060 nm, 1090 nm and 1310 nm. VCSELs operati...
متن کاملThe importance of modal bandwidth in Gigabit Ethernet systems
W ith the advent of Gigabit Ethernet Systems utilizing multimode fiber, the limiting factor in the fiber backbone is no longer the attenuation of the passive link, but rather, the bandwidth of the fiber. Due to different signal characteristics of the transmitter, new test procedures and a new understanding of the interaction between the optical fiber and the optical signal are required. Gigabit...
