VCSEL Communications
High Data Rate VCSELs for AI Data Center
Lasers for AI applications and data centers require a high bandwidth and excellent single mode performance. Vertilas has developed high data rate lasers by optimizing the InP VCSEL design with a bandwidth up to 22 GHz, high max. optical power of 4 mW and a side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of 40 dB. Single mode VCSELs for 1310 nm, 1490 nm and 1550 nm have been demonstrated with a modulation performance of 10 to 50 Gb/s NRZ, and 106 Gb/s PAM4.
Key Features

InP VCSEL
Our unique long wavelength VCSEL concept is based on InP material, enabling to manufacture communications lasers for 1310 nm, 1490 nm and 1550 nm. It features a buried tunnel junction for the current confinement, an epitaxial top DBR, a multi quantum well active area and dielectric bottom mirror encapsulated by a gold substrate. This very efficient thermal design enables ultra high performance and long lifetime reliability.
