Abstract

The characteristic formation of dark filamentary features during the rapid degradation mode of AlxGa1−xAs double-heterostructure lasers has been observed in material with no contacts, with or without a p-n junction, and in minimal-strain mounting configurations. The degradation was observed in optically pumped cw lasing and nonlasing conditions with active region temperatures near and above room temperature.
