Abstract
Most 1.3-μm wavelength InGaAsP laser diodes have hardly shown a stable operation at a high ambient temperature of ~70°C because of the high- temperature dependence of operating current. Double-channel planar buried-heterostructure laser diode (DC-PBH LD), as reported elsewhere,1 has many specific advantages, such as (1) low-threshold current, (2) high efficiency, (3) high power, and (4) high-temperature operation capability. This paper reports that the high reliability of DC-PBH LDs can be obtained even at high temperature from accelerated life tests.
