Summary form only given. We have demonstrated 3 Gb/s biased and 1 Gb/s bias-free data transmission with 231-1 PRBS signals. A BER of better than 10-11 has been achieved and the power penalty for 4.3 km transmission is about 2.1 dB for 3 Gb/s biased and 2.5 dB for 1 Gb/s bias-free modulation. The investigated single-mode 820 nm GaAs VCSEL is able to fulfill the requirements for the gigabit Ethernet
