Abstract

Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) offer compatibility with array processing and an output beam with low divergence which makes them attractive sources of coherent radiation for coupled arrays or for multi-channel transmission systems. The realization of high-quality VCSELs has allowed for the possibility of their direct modulation at data rates in excess of 1 Gbit/s. Recent advances in integrated photoreceivers have resulted in devices which are commensurate with multigigabit per second transmission systems. We report on an optical fiber transmission system employing a VCSEL and an integrated p-i-n/MESFET photoreceiver and operating error free at a bit rate of 1 Gbit/s.
