An optical transceiver, and related methods, are disclosed. One example of the optical transceiver includes a VCSEL that is optically coupled with a launch element configured and arranged to pass an optical signal, generated by the VCSEL, to an optical transmission medium, such as a legacy system optical fiber. In particular, the launch element implements offset launching of the optical signal from the VCSEL into a predefined launch zone of the optical transmission medium. In this way, the effective bandwidth of the optical transmission medium is increased, and modal dispersion reduced.
