VCSELs for Data/Telecommunication Applications
Beam-output comparison VCSEL-EEL
Long-wavelength VCSELs have fundamental cost advantages over traditional edge-emitting laser diodes and are capable of transmitting high-data communications transfers over long distances. These devices can be used in a variety of datacommunications, telecommunications and high-end computing applications, all of which require scalability to higher data rates and increased distance at a low cost.
Current 1550 nm laser diodes are edge-emitting devices (EEL) of either Fabry-Pérot (FP) or distributed-feedback (DFB) laser types. A 1550 nm VCSEL has significant advantages over edge-emitting lasers with regards to costs for manufacturing, packaging, aligning and testing. Other benefits include lower power consumption and higher reliability. VCSELs can also be manufactured in arrays to maximize package density and bandwidth performance.
Long-wavelength VCSELs offer the same cost advantages as short-wavelength VCSELs as well as the ability to transmit data over long distances via singlemode fibers.
