Abstract :
Temperature-stable, energy-efficient, and error-free data transmission with oxide-confined 980 nm VCSELs is obtained for bit rates from 25 to over 40 Gb/s across the broad temperature range 25 to 85 °C. The VCSELs are well-suited for board-to-board, chip-to-chip, and on-chip optical interconnects for computer communications.
