A 40-Gb/s 8-mW-OMA GaN-Based 1-to-N VCSEL Driver for Parallel and Wireless Optical Transmitter Frontends 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a broadband, high-optical modulation amplitude (OMA) GaN-based 1-to-N VCSEL driver implemented in a 150-nm GaN HEMT process for parallel and wireless optical transmitter frontends. It further compares split-node and conventional VCSEL-driving topologies and analyzes the bandwidth scaling and inter-VCSEL timing skew of series- and parallel-connected VCSEL arrays. …
