Abstract
Vertical-cavity lasers with strained active regions show increased modulation rates and reliability at lower power dissipation. However, their longer wavelength (980-1100 nm) than the standard 850 nm has inhibited their widespread adoption. Given the huge emerging markets for high-speed, high-efficiency data links, should this inhibition be overcome?
