1.5mW/Gbps low power optical interconnect transmitter exploiting high-efficiency VCSEL and CMOS driver
Abstract
We demonstrate a low power optical interconnect transmitter which employs a 990nm VCSEL with high efficiency and low threshold current, and a 130nm CMOS driver. The power dissipated by the transmitter is 15.1 mW at 10 Gbps. © 2007 Optical Society of America.
