Abstract :
Usability of various currently available VCSEL structures for the long-wavelength 1.3-μm and 1.55-μm optical-fibre communication systems is examined with the aid of comprehensive fully self-consistent computer simulation. The GaInAsP quantum-well VCSEL do not seem to meet the requirements of the above application. The InGaAs quantum-dot VCSEL have happened to be appropriate only for the small-signal 1.3-μm communication, whereas the GaInNAs quantum-well VCSEL enable the reaching of higher outputs and the GaInNAsSb quantum-well VCSEL make possible shifting the emission band towards 1.55 μm.
