Abstract
We have demonstrated 2.5-Gb/s single-mode fiber-optic transmission usi ng room temperature vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL's) operating at 1.54 mu m. The experiments were done over 60-km conventio nal single-mode fiber and over 75-km dispersion shifted fiber without optical amplification. Transmission over 200 km with one optical ampli fier was also observed. Single-mode operation was demonstrated with a side-mode suppression-ratio of 50 dB under pseudo-random modulation. T he maximum bandwidth was limited hy parasitics to 4.7 GHz.
