1.3 and 1.55-μm InP-based VCSELs for digital and radio signal transmission

High performance InP-based LW-VCSELs have been realized. 10-Gbit/s error-free transmission was achieved up to 85°C as well as under high reflection. Polarization-stable operation was achieved using misoriented substrates. LW-VCSELs can be used for radio-over-fiber application.
