Electro-Optical Characterization
All measurements are representative of bare chip performance when soldered on Copper sub-mounts with pulse conditions
of 100μs pulse length and 10% duty cycle and extrapolated performance on package. Those measurements are indicative of
performance only. The specification table details what performance can be expected.

Far-Field Profiles
For Radiant Intensity (angular), a goniometer measures on a spherical surface with the source at the center of the sphere. For
Irradiance (2D planar), the measurements are done on a flat plane at a fixed distance from the source.

• Labels include VCSEL wafer number and job number for assembly
• Job numbers are generated randomly and then internally associated with the assembly and wafer lots
• II-VI maintains complete traceability to all assembly and wafer records
• II-VI relies upon customers to maintain traceability to the job number in their production process
• The parts themselves do not have any marking. The VCSEL die has die coordinates, however the job number is required to
retrieve the relevant wafer number.
