PCSELs

Every optical component is in play for the OE platform with the laser being the most expensive component of an OE. Because Bill (Mister waveguide) Ring is involved with Vector Photonics, there is potential here for another relationship with POET.

PCSELs – low cost with high speed and power – 3 in one!

PCSELs have it all! They deliver low cost with high speed and power. All other current laser technologies offer only two of these three, key characteristics in one device.

VCSELs (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers) compromise power for low cost and high speed. EEL’s (Edge Emitting Lasers), including FP (Fabry-Perot) and DFB (Distributed Feedback) lasers offer speed and power, but are expensive to make.

PCSELs have other advantages too. They emit light from the top surface, like VCSELs, making them easy to package and incorporate into PCBs and electronic assemblies. They are also made in a similar way to EELs, so existing, experienced, supply chain capability and capacity can be utilised in their production. Vector Photonics’ PCSELs can be made at any wavelength, so can be used to address a wide breadth of applications.
