10 gbps VCSELs with high single mode output in 1310nm and 1550 nm wavelength bands

A new generation of 10 Gb/s wafer fused VCSELS show high single mode output in excess of 2mW at 80 degrees C (6mW at 20 degrees C) in the 1310 nm band and 1.5mW at 80 degrees C (4 mW at 20 degrees C) in the 1550 nm band. Error free transmission over 10 km of standard single mode fiber was performed with less than 1 dB penalty.
