IEC 62148-15:2009(E) covers the physical dimension and interface specifications for the discrete vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) devices in optical telecommunication and optical data transmission applications. The object of this standard is to adequately specify the physical requirements of VCSEL devices that will enable mechanical interchangeability of laser devices or transmitters complying with this standard both at the printed circuit wiring board and for any panel-mounting requirement.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 62148-1:2002.
