Hybrid CMOS/VCSEL optoelectronic modules

We report some investigations on vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays and VCSEL based optoelectronic smart photonic multiple chip modules (MCM), consisting of 1/spl times/16 vertical cavity surface emitting laser array and 16-channel lasers driver 0.35 /spl mu/m CMOS circuit. The hybrid integrated multiple chip modules based on VCSEL operate at more than 2 GHz in -3 dB frequency bandwidth.
