Abstract
Over the past two years, Gore Photonics has reported a new long-wavelength VCSEL structure that employs an electrically pumped short-wavelength VCSEL optical pump to drive a 1300 nm VCSEL, as an alternative to direct current injection [1-3]. This approach offers a number of theoretical advantages that have led to a variety of performance records. These devices have produced the highest room temperature power (3 mW), highest room-temperature single mode power (2.5 mW) , lowest voltage (2.2 volts operating), and highest speed (7 Gbit./sec) of any VCSEL at 1310 or 1550 nm.
