  • Abstract
    1310 nm-band wafer-fused VCSELs emitting in the coarse wavelength division multiplexing wavelength grid operate at 10 Gbps in the temperature range up to 70°C at 7 mA bias current and operation voltage below 1.9 V. These devices can yield 4×10 Gbps 2 km links with power consumption of ~1 W.
