Stable beams boost comms laser
performance
A new family of 850nm oxide-confined VCSELs improves the performance of optical equipment by generating a light beam of unmatched stability - overcoming the effects of current and temperature.
Zarlink Semiconductor has a new family of 850nm oxide-confined VCSELs (vertical cavity surface emitting lasers) that improves the performance of optical equipment by generating a light beam of unmatched stability - overcoming the effects of current and temperature With traditional VCSEL devices, fluctuations in current or temperature cause changes to the shape and angle of the light beam emitted from the laser
