Monolithic Vertical Integrated Chip for Short-Reach Single-Fiber Bi-Directional Optical Interconnects

In this paper, a couple of monolithic vertical integrated chips for short-reach bidirectional optical interconnects on a single fiber is proposed. This transceiver integrates logically Vertical-cavity Surface-emitting Laser (VCSEL) with coupled-cavity Resonant Cavity Enhancement Photodiode (RCEPD).
