Abstract :
The recent commercialization of VCSELs has opened up the possibility of VCSELs in numerous evolving technologies. Many of the present application include optical links, LED and CD replacements in printing, storage, duplication, and sensors. As VCSEL components have exhibited "silicon-like" manufacturability, the ubiquity of VCSEL-based optoelectronic circuits appears bright. VCSEL-array-based smart pixel processors have the potential to enable ultrafast interconnect-intensive processors. VCSELs and VCSEL arrays appear promising between, and even within, computers, backplanes, and multichip modules (MCMs). Tke possibility of RF-VCSELs is speculated. Beyond present "commercial-grade" development, there have been a number of exciting research advancements in decreasing the threshold currents and speed of VCSELs. This may enable even lower power dissipation, higher speeds, and extensions to arrays, and expedite extensions to other spectral regions.
