Analysis of bit-error rate of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers modulated at high speed

A theoretical study of single and multimode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) subject to pseudorandom modulation of the current at a rate of 10 Gb/s is performed. Eye diagrams, probability density functions of the power at the decision time, averaged turn-on delay, and timing jitter a...
