Optical transmission systems employing vertical cavity surface emitting lasers and monolithically integrated photoreceivers

We report on an optical fiber transmission system employing a vertical cavity surface emitting laser and an integrated p-i-n/metal–semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) photoreceiver. The surface emitting laser utilizes proton implantation for current confinement and has a small signal band...

Description
Summary:We report on an optical fiber transmission system employing a vertical cavity surface emitting laser and an integrated p-i-n/metal–semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) photoreceiver. The surface emitting laser utilizes proton implantation for current confinement and has a small signal bandwidth of 10 GHz. The p-i-n/MESFET photoreceiver has a bandwidth of 4.5 GHz. A transmission experiment using the vertical cavity surface emitting lasers source and the p-i-n/MESFET photoreceiver was carried out and error-free operation was demonstrated.
