Modern research into laser diodes is exciting and still evolving. It has revealed that light interaction with matter introduces new physical phenomena in both the operation and failure mechanisms of these technologies.
Combining the research of four teams of researchers from three different continents, this book is split into five chapters. Chapter 1 studies degradation mechanisms from a physical point of view. Chapter 2 investigates the challenging problem of modeling the effect of multiple interacting mechanisms. Chapter 3 describes an approach based on the Monte Carlo method to predict lifetime and failure rate of laser diodes operating in high-rate optical fiber links. Chapter 4 presents a model for reading the DC characteristics of a laser diode. Finally, Chapter 5 summarizes a large set of procedures for measuring parameters.
This book is intended to be a valuable tool for those wishing to read performances and possible failures of laser diodes as well as for those applying practical innovative procedures to predict long-term reliability.
