Qualifications for 850nm VCSELs

Next-generation 850nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) have ompleted full Telcordia GR-468-CORE qualification.

Avago Technologies has completed full Telcordia GR-468-CORE qualification for its next-generation 850nm vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL).

These VCSELs are currently in volume production for use in its higher speed optical fibre products.

The company is a supplier of innovative semiconductor products for advanced communications, industrial and commercial applications.

III-V technologies such as VCSELs play a key role in assuring supply, reliability and high quality in fibre optic product manufacturing.

Products including 10Gbit/s Ethernet and 8Gbit/s Fibre Channel transceivers and 6.25Gbit/s parallel optics transmitters based on Avago's VCSELs are sampling now with commercial release scheduled for later this year.

According to Tim Gallagher, Avago's vice president of III-V: "Our 10Gbit/s VCSEL technology has been proven for extended temperature ranges to support demanding customer applications and enable denser systems".

"Furthermore, Avago's integrated fabrication facilities enable cost reductions and our manufacturing strategies ensure assurance of supply".

Avago has R and D capabilities in several III-V technologies, including VCSELs, FP lasers, DFB laser and uncooled EML lasers.
