Monolithic electro-optically modulated VCSEL suitable for radio over fibre applications to 20 GHz

An integrated EOM VCSELs is shown to offer high linearity (92dB/Hz 2/3 at 6GHz) and by extrapolation ∼90dB/Hz2/3 up to 20GHz. Successful modulation with IEEE 802.11g signals is demonstrated at 6GHz with a 12dB dynamic range. © 2011 Optical Society of America.

1.55-μm VCSEL transmission performance up to 20 Gb/s for access networks

We experimentally demonstrate for the first time 1.55μm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) transmission over 6.5 km single mode fiber (SMF) at 20 Gb/s for optical access networks. Characterization of the device is also investigated. © 2009 IEEE.

20 Gb/s QPSK transmission using an electro-optically modulated vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser

20 Gb/s QPSK transmission over 100 m of OM3 fibre using an EOM VCSEL under QPSK modulation is reported. Bit-error-ratio measurements are carried out to express the quality of the transmission scheme. © 2011 OSA.
