Abstract :
Principles of energy-efficient high speed operation of oxide-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are presented. Trade-offs between oxide-aperture diameter, current density, and energy consumption per bit are demonstrated and discussed. Record energy-efficient error-free data transmission up to 40 Gb/s, across up to 1000 m of multimode optical fiber and at up to 85 °C is reported with dissipated energy reaching 50 fJ/bit at room temperature.
