“…Non-resonant detection is achieved by the employment of separate epitaxial layers for photodiode and VCSEL. 3,4 Usually such a transceiver is grown in one run and thus contains all the epitaxial layers from the beginning. Both the vertical and horizontal separation of the devices is achieved by means of lithography and selective etching techniques.…”

We present the monolithic design, fabrication and properties of 850 nm wavelength AlGaAs-GaAs-based transceiver chips with a stacked layer structure of a VCSEL and a PIN photodetector. Bidirectional data transmission via a single, two-side butt-coupled multimode fiber (MMF) is thus enabled. The approach aims at a miniaturization of transceiver chips in order to ensure compatibility with standard MMFs with core diameters of 50 and 62.5 μm used predominantly in premises networks. These chips are supposed to be well suited for low-cost and compact half-and full-duplex interconnection at Gbit/s data rates over distances of a few hundred meters.

“…However, both attempts need temperature control at each fiber end in order to tune the very narrow spectral range of the photodetector in case of temperature differences. The use of separate epitaxial layers for nonresonant detection, as reported in [7,8], can avoid higher costs for the temperature stabilization of such an optical link. In [7], the small-signal 3 dB bandwidth of the presented PIN PD array is 2.3 GHz and only static operation is reported in [8].…”

We report the monolithic integration, fabrication, and electrooptical properties of AlGaAs-GaAs-based transceiver (TRx) chips for 850 nm wavelength optical links with data rates of multiple Gbit/s. Using a single butt-coupled multimode fiber (MMF), low-cost bidirectional communication in half- and even full-duplex mode is demonstrated. Two design concepts are presented, based on a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and a monolithically integrated p-doped-intrinsic-n-doped (PIN) or metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetector. Whereas the VCSEL-PIN photodiode (PD) chips are used for high-speed bidirectional data transmission over 62.5 and 50 μm core diameter MMFs, MSM TRx chips are employed for 100 or 200 μm large-area fibers. Such a monolithic transceiver design based on a well-established material system and avoiding the use of external fiber coupling optics is well suited for inexpensive and compact optical interconnects over distances of a few hundred meters. Standard MMF networks can thus be upgraded using high-speed VCSEL-PIN transceiver chips which are capable to handle data rates of up to 10 Gbit/s.

“…Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) designed for single mode Operation over a middle ground between LEDs and multi-mode VCSELs [3] and are easily incorporated into an integrated emitter/photodiode system [2,8]. The figure of merit used to characterize intensity noise is known as Relative Intensity Noise (RIN).…”
