Adtran shows ultra-low-power 100G PAM4 single-mode VCSEL

Adtran teamed up with Vertilas to develop a 100Gbit/s PAM4 single-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with capabilities up to 1.6Tbit/s. The new VCSEL technology leverages a short-cavity single-mode design and is based on indium phosphide semiconductor material. This enables it to operate across both O-band and C-band wavelengths, delivering 100Gbit/s per channel. By stacking multiple single-mode lasers into arrays, this approach...
