Data transmission up to 10 Gbit/s with 1.3 /spl mu/m wavelength InGaAsN VCSELs

High bit rate data transmission with monolithic InGaAsN VCSELs, emitting 700 /spl mu/W in singlemode operation at room temperature, is demonstrated. Bit error rates of <10/sup -11/ are achieved for transmission over 20.5 km of a standard singlemode fibre at 2.5 Gbit/s. In back-to-back transmission 10 Gbit/s is reached.
