Abstract :
The first successful hybrid integration of Si CMOS drivers with InGaAs-GaAs vertical cavity surface emitting (VCSE) laser arrays operating at bit rates up to 622 Mbit/s is described. This technology has potential for low cost, high-bandwidth communication links in optical interconnect and optical computing applications. The simple, power-efficient driver circuits were implemented in a standard 1.0 mu m CMOS process.
