Abstract

MBE-grown InGaAlAs-InP vertical cavity surface emitting lasers with buried tunnel junction for 1.55m wavelength, passivated with benzocyclobutene (BCB) and coplanar contacts, are presented. The devices show superior modulation bandwidths up to 11.6GHz. Wide open eye diagrams with 6dB extinction ratio enable error-free data transmission at 10Gbit/s in back-to-back configuration and over different fibres.
