Abstract :
We present monolithically integrated, individually addressable long-wavelength VCSEL arrays in one and two-dimensional configuration. 10 GHz modulation bandwidth and low bit-error-rates (BER) enable parallel optical interconnects and WDM applications with channels addressed by current tuning.
