In this paper, we propose a comprehensive electro-optical co-design framework for power-efficient high-speed VCSEL transmitter targeting at 50 Gbaud. The framework integrates a rate-equation based VCSEL chip model and driver circuit models. Subject to the transmitter specifications defined by IEEE 4...
