Abstract

Recent data on 10 Gb/s oxide VCSELs are presented. We cover failure analysis results on VCSELs that failed in the field, including failures due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and those inherent to the limitations of the present mesa structure used in oxide VCSELs. An ongoing experiment to overcome these limitations is discussed.
