Abstract :
In this paper, we use a 980 nm laser to optically pump 1.55 /spl mu/m vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) and demonstrate record output power of 2 mW at 25/spl deg/C and a record operating temperature of 105/spl deg/C with 140 /spl mu/W output power. Single mode operation with a side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of 61 dB was achieved and transmission over 25 km of fiber at a bit rate of 6 Gb/s was demonstrated.
