The HFE4080-321 is a high-performance 850 nm VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting 
Laser) packaged for high-speed data communications.  
 
The HFE4080-321 is a high radiance VCSEL  designed to convert electrical current into optical 
power that can be used in fiber optic communications and other applications.  As the current 
varies above threshold, the light intensity increases proportionally.   
 
The HFE4080-321 is designed to be used with inexpensive silicon or gallium arsenide detectors 
(see HFD3081-108, HFD3081-103), but excellent performance can also be achieved with some 
indium gallium arsenide detectors. 
 
The low drive current requirement makes direct drive from PECL (Positive Emitter Coupled 
Logic) or EML (Emitter Coupled Logic) gates possible and eases driver design. 
 
The HFE4080-321 is designed to interface with 50/125 and 62.5/125  m multimode fiber. It 
produces circularly symmetric, non-astigmatic, narrow divergence beams that, with appropriate 
lensing, fiber couple all of the emitter power.
