Record speed demonstration of 224 Gbps data transmission

VI Systems arranged a record speed demonstration of up to 224 Gbps data transmission using the new generation of 850 nm vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL).   

In the experiment a standard telecom modulation format was used. The setup is based on the new generation of 850 nm VCSEL chips. The transmission experiment confirms that VCSEL based optical interconnects can also become available for the next generation of serial speed upgrade.

Details will be presented at the Photonics West 2021 Digital Forum from March 6-11, 2021.

The presentation will be available on-demand on March 6:  https://spie.org/photonics-west/presentation/NRZ-DB-and-DMT-performance-for-short-reach-VCSEL-based/11692-10
