Abstract
The push–pull modulation of a transverse coupled cavity VCSEL with a bow-tie-shaped oxide aperture is demonstrated. We experimentally show the transverse-mode switching of laterally coupled VCSELs, which potentially offers a novel push–pull modulation concept. The calculated results of small-signal responses indicate an extreme expansion of the modulation bandwidth regardless of the relaxation oscillation frequency. The small-signal response was measured by tuning the RF phase of the modulation current in one cavity. A clear eye opening up to 40 Gbps with push–pull modulation has been obtained, whereas the eye pattern with the single-cavity modulation is completely closed.
