Abstract :
GaAs quantum-well (QW)-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) at 855-nm emission wavelength are investigated for intraboard polymer waveguide links. We report a 3-Gb/s pseudorandom bit sequence (PRES) nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) data transmission over about 5-cm long printed circuit board (PCB) integrated multinode polymer waveguide arrays of two different geometries at bit-error rates (BERs) of less than 10/sup -11/.
