Abstract

Each year, more VCSEL technologies make the transition from research curiosities to commercially available products. In this paper we describe several such technologies at Honeywell, each at a different stage of that transition. Oxide-confined devices are already past the transition stage. We describe the generally excellent reliability of oxide-confined devices already in high-volume production, and compare it to results of the most recent-and possibly last-long-term reliability study of proton-implanted VCSELs. We report on detailed package-VCSEL interaction modeling, which is being used to improve performance and extend the life of common form-factor packages. We also note Honeywell's progress toward commercialization of VCSELs and allied products at wavelengths other than 850 nm.
