Connector Optics and VI Systems demonstrated more than 3000 h degradation-robust operation of high-speed (>25 Gbit/s) 850nm VCSELs. The result was obtained at the temperature of 75?C and the pump current of 10 mA. At such conditions VCSELs allow to transfer data at rates beyond 25 Gbit/s. The laser chips belong to the latest generation of high-speed VCSELs developed jointly by the companies.
The target applications of the VCSELs are Fiber Channel (14 and 28 Gbit/s), Infiniband FDR (14 Gbit/s) and EDR (26 Gbit/s). Product samples will be represented at ECOC 2011 exhibition in Geneva, Switzerland, 19-21 September, 2011. Booth №1308.
The latest results will also be presented at the European Semiconductor Laser Workshop, Lausanne, Switzerland, 23-24 September, 2011.
