2D alignment free VCSEL-array module with push/pull fibre connector

摘要

The authors present a 16-channel 2D VCSEL-array module. The module uses a plastic-based receptacle package, directly joined to a push/pull fibre connector. The VCSEL-array was passively self-aligned to the package. This module exhibits floorless BER performance at 1 Gbit/s without an isolator, a sensitivity of 26.0 dBm/spl plusmn/0.9 dB, and a coupling loss of 2.1 dB/spl plusmn/0.8 dB.
