摘要： The vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with high single-mode (narrow linewidth) output power are essential to minimize chromatic dispersion and to further improve the bit-rate distance product in a multimode fiber, which has a significant propagation loss (~3.5 dB/km) at 850 nm wavelength. Here, we demonstrate the detailed design considerations and fabrication of a single-mode, high-power, and high-speed VCSELs at the 850 nm wavelength with oxide-relief and Zn-diffusion apertures for the application of short (0.3 km) to medium reach (2 km) optical interconnects. By optimizing the relative geometric sizes between two such apertures in our demonstrated 850-nm VCSELs, we can not only attain high single-mode output power (~6.5 mW), but also with a reasonable threshold current (<; 2.0 mA). Furthermore, the spatial hole burning effect induced low-frequency roll off can also be minimized in our optimized structure to obtain a maximum data rate up to 26 Gbit/s. The record-high bit rate-distance products for OM4 MMF transmission under ON-OFF keying (14 Gbit/s × 2.0 km) modulation formats have been successfully demonstrated by the use of our VCSEL. 其他題名： JLT 出版者： IEEE 出版日期： 2013-12-15 出處： Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2013-12, Vol.31 (24), p.4037-4044 資源來源： IEEE Electronic Library (IEL) 識別號： ISSN: 0733-8724 識別號： EISSN: 1558-2213 識別號： DOI: 10.1109/JLT.2013.2281235 識別號： CODEN: JLTEDG
