High-speed 850 nm VCSELs operating error free up to 57 Gbit/s

Abstract

Error-free transmission is demonstrated at bit rates up to 57 Gbit/s back-to-back, up to 55 Gbit/s over 50 m fibre and up to 43 Gbit/s over 100 m fibre using an oxide-confined 850 nm high-speed vertical cavity surface-emitting laser with a photon lifetime optimised for high-speed data transmission. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2013.
