This communication presents an alysis of the design and fabrication of power-efficient, low

cost VCSEL-based optical transceiver proposed for emerging fiber data distributed interface

(FDDI) and fiber channel local-area network (FCLAN　　







to meet the increasing amount of information transmitted through communication networks.

VCSEL devices operating at low temperature display decrease jitter, increase output power

and enhance lifetime. Also, temperature gradient on large opto-electronic (OE) device arrays

generates performance non-uniformities and lowers the bit-error-rate (BER) of the optical

links. In addition, lowering the power consumption of optical transceivers contributes to the

overall reduction of the system power budget.-This communication presents an analysis of the design and fabrication of power-efficient, low
