Abstract
Accelerated aging tests were carried out under the conditions of constant current and high-temperatures for 808 nm high-power Al-free InGaAsP/GaAs lasers. Based on the mean lifetimes of the laser diodes at high-temperatures, the mean lifetimes of lasers at room temperature were extrapolated to be in excess of 30000 h. In addition, the catastrophic degradation modes and several methods to prevent this degradation mode are discussed.
