VI Systems VCSELs operate at up to 40 Gbit/s

July 27, 2012
A line of high-speed vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) chips offer a data rate of up to 40 Gbit/s.

A line of high-speed vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) chips offer a data rate of up to 40 Gbit/s. The 850 nm VCSELs and VCSEL arrays (1 × 4 and 1 × 12) feature a -3 dB modulation bandwidth of 20 GHz and a HAB contact pad design that overcomes the problems of thick and soft planarization layers. The VCSELs also comply with the standard 250 µm device-to-device pitch.

PRESS RELEASE


VI Systems launches VCSEL with HAB pad design for up to 40 Gbit/s

VI Systems has launched a new product line of high speed VCSEL chips that operate with data rates of up to 40 Gbit/s. The new generation of high-speed 850 nm VCSEL dice and VCSEL arrays feature an ultrahigh modulation bandwidth of 20 GHz and a novel HAB contact pad design suitable for ultra-robust bonding and packaging.

BERLIN, Germany - VI Systems GmbH (VIS), a leader in optical engines and components has launched a new product line for high speed VCSEL chips with a data rate of up to 40 Gbit/s. VIS' new generation of high-speed 850 nm VCSELs and VCSEL arrays (1x4 and 1x12) feature an ultrahigh -3 dB modulation bandwidth of 20 GHz and a novel HAB contact pad design that overcomes the problems of thick and soft planarization layers, characteristic to high-speed VCSEL designs, and enables ultra-robust bonding and packaging. VIS’ novel manufacturing approach and array designs are in compliance with the standard 250 µm device-to-device pitch (linear spacing) allowing systems developers to dramatically extend their capabilities in energy efficient data communication. Die-level samples are available now.
