Impact of the Quantum Well Gain-to-Cavity Etalon Wavelength Offset on the High Temperature Performance of High Bit Rate 980-nm VCSELs

Highly temperature stable, high bit rate oxide-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) emitting at 980 nm are presented. Error-free data transmission at 38 Gb/s at 25 °C, 45 °C, 65 °C, and 85 °C is achieved without any change of working point and modulation condition. Static and high-speed properties are analyzed experimentally and theoretically. We numerically investigate the temperature dependence of the differential gain of our quantum well (QW) active region design to explain why a -15-nm QW gain-to-etalon wavelength offset facilitates our 980-nm VCSELs to show simultaneously high bit rate, temperature stability, and energy efficiency. Our VCSELs operate error-free at 42 and 38 Gb/s at 25 °C and 85 °C, respectively, with very low power consumption. Record low 175 fJ of dissipated heat per bit is achieved for 35-Gb/s error-free transmission at room temperature and 177 fJ/bit for 38-Gb/s error-free transmission at 85 °C. Such VCSELs are especially well suited for very-short-reach (<;1 m) optical interconnects in high-performance computers and board-to-board and chip-to-chip integrated photonics.
