Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) having a small aperture and operating in a single. Owen-Newns, Dafydd and Zhang, Weikang and Alanis, Juan and Bueno, Julian and Robertson, Joshua and Hejda, Matej and Hurtado, Antonio; Costa, Manuel Filipe P. (2022) Photonic neuromorphic computing with vertical cavity surface emitting lasers. Despite their low manufacturing costs, diffraction-limited, narrow-band emission and excellent modulation capability, VCSELs were only used for optical data transmission. The vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is the preferred light source for high-speed and power-efficient short-reach optical intercon-nects (OIs) in high-performance computing systems, datacenters, and other short-range optical networks. The high-speed energy-efficient data transfer between cryogenic.
