Abstract :
We report, for the first time, a successful 2.5-Gb/s transmission performance of a 1.5-mum emission monolithic vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) over hybrid links composed of 25-km-long conventional single-mode fibers (SMFs) and a 2.2-km-long 50-mum core multimode fibers (MMFs). This result suggests that 1.5-mum wavelength VCSELs can be effectively used for multigigabit-per-second transmission over hybrid links interconnecting SMF-based long-distance and (or) subscriber network lines with MMF-based local-area network lines in the future ubiquitous network era
