Optical Interconnects Using Injection-Locked VCSELs
نویسنده
چکیده
Injection-Locked Vertical Cavity Lasers exhibit drastically enhanced performance. The 3-dB bandwidth can be increased up to 40 GHz, due to a resonance frequency enhancement. Such VCSELs may play a role in future optical interconnects. c © 2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (140.3520) Injection-locked lasers; (250.7260) Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers

Greatly enhanced modulation response of injection-locked multimode VCSELs.
We report greatly enhanced modulation response of multimode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (MM-VCSELs), for the first time, using optical injection locking. A 3-dB bandwidth of 38 GHz and 54 GHz resonance frequency are achieved using a MM-VCSEL with a 3 GHz free-running bandwidth. We show that transverse mode selection can be attained with optical injection locking through frequency an...
متن کاملStrong optical injection-locked semiconductor lasers demonstrating > 100-GHz resonance frequencies and 80-GHz intrinsic bandwidths.
By using strong optical injection locking, we report resonance frequency enhancement in excess of 100 GHz in semiconductor lasers. We demonstrate this enhancement in both distributed feedback (DFB) lasers and vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), showing the broad applicability of the technique and that the coupling Q is the figure-of-merit for resonance frequency enhancement. We ha...
متن کاملAdjustable Chirp Injection-Locked 1.55-μm VCSELs for Enhanced Chromatic Dispersion Compensation at 10-Gbit/s
We demonstrate adjustable negative chirp from a directly-modulated, injection-locked 1.55-μm VCSEL by controlling the injection parameters. Chromatic dispersion tolerance is enhanced by greater than 10X at 10-Gb/s compared to that of a free-running VCSELs. ©2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (230.2035) Dispersion compensation devices, (250.7260) Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers
متن کاملNovel cascaded injection-locked 1.55-mum VCSELs with 66 GHz modulation bandwidth.
We demonstrate a novel cascaded configuration of optically injection-locked (COIL) VCSELs, which enables a wide and tailorable direct modulation bandwidth. Up to 66 GHz bandwidth is achieved using VCSELs with an original, free-running 10 GHz bandwidth. Different configurations of cascading are discussed in detail with the focus on optimizing the modulation bandwidth. We also discuss scaling cap...
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...
