Abstract :
We have investigated the modulation characteristics of a highly strained GaInAs/GaAs vertical cavity surface emitting laser. This laser exhibits stable polarization operation and the emitting wavelength is 1125 nm. The eye pattern after 5 km single-mode fiber transmission was clearly opened under 1 Gbit/s modulation speed.
