Particular aspects of drivers for VCSELs operating at multi-Gb/s

It is demonstrated that the conventional current-pulse laser drivers are not adequate in driving VCSELs operating at multi-Gb/s speeds. Simulation results, including the bonding parasitics, show that high-performance VCSELs are more efficiently driven using voltage-pulse mode of operation. The optic...

Zusammenfassung:It is demonstrated that the conventional current-pulse laser drivers are not adequate in driving VCSELs operating at multi-Gb/s speeds. Simulation results, including the bonding parasitics, show that high-performance VCSELs are more efficiently driven using voltage-pulse mode of operation. The optical output power is almost doubled in the voltage-mode of operation, while the total electrical power consumption of the transmitter decreases by 20%.
