Optoelectronic complex for express laser diodes lifetime prediction

Abstract

This paper presents the optoelectronic complex, which provides both preparations for carrying out an express lifetime prediction of edge emitted strip single-mode laser diodes. It is shown that for this purpose the complex should consist of four operational units: an input control unit; a spectral radiation characteristics measurement unit; a laser lifetime forecasting unit and automatic processing hardware unit. The use of this complex makes it possible to predict the lifetime of a laser diode according to their spectral characteristics at the initial stage of its operation.
