Vertical-Cavity Laser Arrays for Wavelength-Division Multiplexing
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on the fabrication and operation of the first electrically pumped 1.55m vertical-cavity laser array for wavelength-division-multiplexing applications. The array consisted of four channels operating between 1509 and 1524 nm. Wafer bonding was used to integrate GaAs–AlGaAs distributed Bragg reflectors with an InP–InGaAsP active region.

Thermonuclear reactors will require permanent monitoring under high-gamma dose rates and high neutron flux. We propose to get rid of the digital data transmission limitations in highly radioactive environments by implementing an analog fiber-optic link based on directly modulated vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSELs). In this paper, we introduce an architecture for highly radiation-to...
