The highly stable operation of 980 nm transverse coupled cavity vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) with enhanced modulation bandwidth for high‐speed optical interconnects is reported. The device operates at 25 Gbit/s from 0 to 60°C with fixed driving conditions. In addition, the stability of driving currents into the VCSEL is explored, exhibiting that the bandwidth enhancement is not sensitive to the current. The ultra‐compact inplane coupled cavity VCSEL can boost the modulation speed beyond the relaxation oscillation frequency because of the to photon–photon resonance, which makes it useful in next‐generation computing and data centre networking.
