Long-wavelength InP VCSEL exploitation for innovative sustainable high-capacity transmitter

A sustainable transmitter enabling multi Tb/s capacity is designed and realized in a silicon photonics platform exploiting the benefits of InP VCSEL sources in terms of cost, power consumption and footprint. 40 VCSELs covering the C band integrated together in a single module achieve 2 Tb/s transmission rate thanks to DMT modulation format. © VDE VERLAG GMBH · Berlin · Offenbach.This paper is part of a project that has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement PASSION No 780326. © 2021, IEEE.
