Advanced Laser Diode Reliability focuses on causes and effects of degradations of state-of-the-art semiconductor laser diodes. It aims to provide a tool for linking practical measurements to physical diagnostics. The book reviews the current technologies, addressing their peculiar details that can promote specific failure mechanisms. Two sections support this kernel: a) failure analysis techniques, procedures and examples; and, b) device-oriented laser modeling and parameter extraction.

• Provides natural continuity with the most widespread existing...
