GCS high speed 850nm multimode Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) chips are primarily designed for up to 400Gbps data communications and are specifically tailored for consumer-based active optical cable (AOC) and optical USB (OUSB) applications. This high performance device has high reliability and is engineered with low electrical parasitics. The VCSEL has a circular low divergence beam that can be efficiently coupled into a 50/125 or 62.5/125um multimode fiber. The device can also be arranged in linear 1x4, 1x8, or 1x12 arrays in a common cathode configuration, with 250m pitch between each channel, for up to 400Gbps applications.
