II-VI Incorporated announced the introduction of its high-speed vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) on its vertically integrated 150 mm gallium arsenide (GaAs) technology platform to serve the growing demand for optical high-definition multimedia interface (optical HDMI) cables in consumer electronics. The growing trend in television and computer displays toward higher resolution, larger size, and thinner profiles is driving the demand for high-speed data cables that connect screens to remotely located driver electronics. II-VI’s high-speed VCSELs developed for datacenter transceivers are now available on its scalable 150 mm GaAs platform to meet the expected high-volume demand for optical HDMI cables. II-VI’s broad portfolio of components for high-speed transceivers includes directly modulated lasers (DMLs), externally modulated lasers (EMLs), high-speed detectors, micro-optics, and driver electronics. II-VI will showcase its broad portfolio of optoelectronic devices, micro-optics, and module assemblies for consumer electronics at the SPIE Photonics West, San Francisco, CA, February 4-6, 2020, Booth #1427.
