Energy-Efficient Long Distance 1550 nm VCSEL-Based Fiber Transmitters
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: A survey on energy efficiencies of 1310 nm and 1550 nm VCSEL-based transmitters in terms of energy-to-data (EDR) and energy-distance-data ratios (EDDR) is given.EDDRis argued to be the figure of merit for long distance interconnects. Low estimated device-levelEDDRof 100 fJ/bit$ \cdot $km for 1550-nm wafer-fused VCSEL eye-diagram-based transmission under dispersion-limited conditions is demonstrated.
