Hi everyone. I need some help in understanding the electrical parameters of a VCSEL I am working with (OPV300). The threshold current is rated at a min of .8mA and a max of 3mA. The Max forward current is rated at 12mA and the forward voltage is a max of 2.2V. I have it in a forward bias configuration with a 1k resistor in series with the Anode, and I am applying 5V to this, giving me a forward current of 5mA. Is it ok that I am applying more than the MAX forward voltage to get my 5mA current? Thank you.
