1.55 µm InP-based VCSEL with enhanced modulation bandwidths ≫ 10 GHz up to 85°C

VCSELs at 1.55-µm with reduced parasitics and improved active region provide superior modulation-bandwidths ≫10 GHz up to 85°C. These bandwidths enable potential bit-rates of 12.5 or even 17 Gb/s for cost-effective 100G Ethernet solutions.
