Abstract: We discuss various mechanisms of laser diode degradation based on our own experiments and on the available literature data. In most of the cases, degradation of InGaN laser diodes occurs ...

Abstract: A discrete-mode laser diode, fabricated in the In0.6Ga0.4P/AlGaInP multiple quantum well system, emitting a single mode at $\lambda =689$ nm is reported. The laser has an ex-facet output ...
