Honeywell International-VCSEL Optical Products
The growth of gigabit optical networking relies on vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) for implementing parallel optical interfaces. Traditional manufacturing of VCSELs has suffered from high costs and lack of standard packaging. The Stabilaze process provides one- and two-dimensional arrays of VCSELs for parallel optical transmission with aggregate speeds in excess of 40 Gb/s. Honeywell International's VCSEL Optical Products division in Richardson, Texas, developed the process for...
