Engineering Samples
Product Description

These compact and very high modulation rate top-emitting GaAs-based vertical cavity surface emitting
laser (VCSEL) chips and 1xN (N=4,12) arrays are available as engineering samples for use in thedevelopment and evaluation of optical interconnections, optical backplanes and integrated
waveguides, and next-generation optical data communications systems. The VCSELs are contacted on
the top-surface individually using ground-source (GS) microprobes, wire bonds, or flip-chip bonds.
Optical aperture: ~3µmFeatures

Applications· Single chips and 4-ch arrays· Up to 112 Gbit/s per channel· Device-to-device pitch of 250 µm· Suitable for wire or flip-chip bonding· Ethernet· Proprietary optical interconnects· Active Optical Cables (AOC)· 25G and 100G Ethernet

Qualification Notification
The VM100-850Cx-qSM has been tested to meet specifications outlined in this data sheet at room
temperature. However, it has not undergone full qualification testing or characterization and therefore
may not meet the performance specifications over all extremes.
