Directly modulated VCSELs at ≥ 50 Gb/s for short reach data communications

The Datacom industry has adopted 50-56Gb/s (50G) as one of the next data rates for short reach communications. This talk will cover the status of directly modulated VCSELs for 50G in the wavelength range of 850-1100 nm for multimode fiber and at 1550 nm for single mode fiber.
