    Abstract: A VCSEL transmitter includes a first VCSEL terminal disposed on a substrate and a second VCSEL terminal adjacent thereto. The transmitter also includes a first diffraction element within a first optical path of the first VCSEL terminal which receives and changes a first direction of a first light transmission having a low-order Laguerre Gaussian mode emitted from the first VCSEL terminal. The transmitter further includes a second diffraction element within a second optical path of the second VCSEL terminal which receives the second light transmission and converts the received light into a high-order Laguerre Gaussian mode. The transmitter also includes a mode combiner to direct the first light transmission into a lens which directs the light into a multi-mode optical fiber.
