摘要
光相连(OI ) 是唯一的答案两个都在大带宽和数据中心和高效的计算机(HPC ) 的最小的电源消费上完成要求。垂直洞的射出表面的激光(VCSEL ) 是为 OI 的理想的轻来源并且广泛地被部署了。这篇论文将总结在 VCSEL 的调整速度，精力效率，和温度稳定性上取得的进步。特别有表面 nanostructures 的 VCSEL 将深入地被考察。如此的激光将提供新机会进一步增加 VCSEL 的表演并且为精力有效的 OI 打开一扇新门。
Optical interconnects （OIs） are the only solution to fulfil both the requirements on large bandwidth and minimum power consumption of data centers and high-performance computers （HPCs）. Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers （VCSELs） are the ideal light sources for Ols and have been widely deployed. This paper will summarize the progress made on modulation speed, energy efficiency, and temperature stability of VCSELs. Espe- cially VCSELs with surface nanostructures will be reviewed in depth. Such lasers will provide new opportunities to further boost the performance of VCSELs and open a new door for energy-efficient OIs.
