QD VCSELs enable extension of the temperature stability and demonstrate threshold currents below 1 mA for operation range from 30°C to 200°C. The role of gain to cavity detuning is discussed in details. 25 Gbit/s NRZ multi-mode fiber transmission with QD VCSELs is realized at temperatures up to 180°C. Pulsed operation of QD VCSELs with 8 μm oxide aperture diameter is studied at temperatures from 30°C to 125°C and 1 W peak power is realized on 100 ns pulses at room temperature. |
