Abstract :
We report 12 Gbps transmission over 6.3 km SMF with a directly modulated widely tunable bulk micromachined MEMS-VCSEL. The MEMS is electrothermally actuated for a continuous tuning of >64 nm around 1560 nm center wavelength. Error-free BTB transmission is achieved at 10 Gbps for 50 nm tuning.
