Vertical cavity surface e mitting lasers (VCSELs) can be arrayed inexpensively and can be directly m odulated\, avoiding the need for separate optical modulator components. VC SELs coupled to multimode fiber offer a compact and inexpensive optoelectr onic assembly\, and are predominant for short reach optical communication. \n\nThe key challenge for the transmitter circuit in such systems is to mo dulate single-ended VCSEL currents up to about 10mA at 25+Gb/s while maint aining bias voltages of approximately 2V across the VCSELs\, and contendin g with inherent laser nonlinearity. At the receiver\, a key challenge is t o provide adequate sensitivity using photodiodes with wide (50um) aperture and\, hence\, large capacitance. Current commercial transceiver circuits are realized in SiGe BiCMOS\, which is advantageous at both the transmitte r and receiver\, but CMOS offers the potential for higher levels of integr ation and lower power consumption. Our research efforts on low-power CMOS VCSEL drivers and optical receivers will be presented\, including 65nm &am p\; 28nm CMOS designs.\n\nSpeaker Biography\nTony Chan Carusone has been a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto since 2001.
