The short-reach optical interconnection technology has important commercial application value in many fields, such as cloud computing, 5G communication and internet of things technology. The system based on high-speed vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and multi-mode fiber, using direct modulation detection and high-order intensity modulation mode such as four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) is proved to be an ideal solution for short-reach optical interconnection. In this article, firstly, the research of short-reach optical interconnection is introduced; secondly, the development, structure and dynamic parameters of VCSELs are studied; thirdly, PAM4 modulation method and various electronic technologies (equalization, forward error correction and pulse shaping) are reviewed; fourthly, the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology which can increase the rate of single link is mentioned; lastly, summary and outlook of the short-reach optical interconnection technology based on high-speed VCSEL, multimode fiber, direct modulation detection, PAM4 modulation and WDM are introduced.
