Sumario: | Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) diodes will be used as the light source for SCT optical links. In this note we report about measurements of electrical and optical properties of VCSELs relevant for the design of new version of driving and receiving electronics. Excellent performance was obtained already with the existing links electronics proving that VCSELs are a good light source for the SCT links. Only minor changes in driving and receiving circuitry are needed for the transition from LEDs to VCSELs. |
