A Key Component in Future Optical Access Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
For more than ten years, the access network market is attracted by the Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers well known as the acronym VCSEL. Indeed, the numerous advantages of this component make the VCSEL technology suitable for access networks and today several studies have demonstrated the feasibility of various configurations of Optical Access Network (OAN) using the VCSEL Technology. Above all, the VCSEL has been designed to achieve the need of the optoelectronic circuits planarization. Since its invention in 1977 by Prof. K. Iga (Iga, Koyama, Kinoshita, 1988), the VCSEL structure is in a state of constant progress (Iga, 2000; Koyama, 2006; Chow, Choquette, Crawford, Lear, Hadley, 2006) Today, a wide wavelength emission range (from the Green-blue band up to the infrared) AbstrAct
