摘要：

We present characteristics of 850-nm oxide confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) developed for applications in optical parallel data links and free-space optical interconnects. Low threshold currents of less than 200 mu A, wall-plug efficiencies approaching 30%, operating voltages of less than 2 V for 1 mW of optical power, and operation over a wide temperature range, up to 190 degrees C, are demonstrated. We optimized VCSEL arrays for operation at elevated temperatures for use in dense free-space interconnects. Excellent performance uniformity - optical power of 1+/-0.1 mW at a drive current of 3 mA - across a 20x20 array was achieved at 75 degrees C. We integrated two-dimensional top emitting VCSEL arrays with top-illuminated metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) detectors for future use with CMOS integrated circuits. We discuss design issues encountered in VCSEL-based modules for optical interconnects.
