Finisar Advanced Optical Components has led the industry in high volume VCSEL technology since introducing the first commercially available VCSEL in 1996. VCSELs (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers) are semiconductor lasers which are effecting advances in optical communication, and sensor applications.
Serial and parallel VCSELs for high-speed, reliable fiber optic data communications enable computer networks to reliably transmit at data rates up to and beyond 10Gb/s. For precision optical sensor applications, Advanced Optical Components VCSELs’ superior reliability, low drive current, high coupled power, narrow and circularly symmetric beam and versatile packaging options (including arrays) are enabling solutions not possible with other optical technologies.
Advanced Optical Components has shipped more packaged VCSELs than any other company. We offer various standard and custom VCSEL packages including arrays, TO can, LC, SC, optical subassemblies and optical front end solutions and mating detectors. Our world-renowned R&D team is continually developing higher speeds and expanded wavelengths. Technical support is available worldwide.
Advanced Optical Components has produced an array of application notes
and technical publications over the years, as well as the most comprehensive
VCSEL reliability analysis and data in the industry. Theses documents can be
found in the following libraries:
