Abstract
We have analyzed low current operation characteristics of a VCSEL transmitter operating at fixed Current over wide temperature range. Used 850 nm oxide VCSEL has low temperature dependence of the threshold current and $d^2I_{th}/dT^2$ is approximately $1.346\times10^{-4}mA/^{\circ}C^2$. We fixed on-current so that output power from the chip is 1 mW at $20^{\circ}C$ and investigated the turn-on, turn-off characteristics and eye-diagram of the 850 nm oxide VCSEL transmitter with varying ambient temperature and off-current. We measured rise time, fall time, extinction ratio and timing jitter by changing tile ambient temperature and off-current. With the fixed off-current of around $0.1\sim0.2mA$ lower than the lowest threshold current the transmitter successfully operated at 1.25 Gbps over a wide temperature range from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$.
