Abstract :
Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) emitting at 650 nm are promising candidates as transmitter in optical data communication systems based on polymer optical fibres (POF) because of a narrow minimum in transmission loss of POF at this wavelength. So far, small-signal resonance frequencies fr have been reported for 670 nm devices of 7 GHz and for 656 nm VCSEL of 3.75 GHz, respectively. In this paper the authors discuss theoretically and experimentally the influence of heat dissipation on the modulation behaviour of red 650 nm VCSEL.
