Abstract
The conventional method of measuring the internal optical loss, using the dependence of the reciprocal external quantum efficiency on the cavity length in laser diodes, is examined. It is shown that the implicit assumption of constant internal differential quantum efficiency ηid, which has been customarily misinterpreted as internal quantum efficiency ηi is not valid for devices with short cavity length. Therefore, for reliable measurements, long cavity data should be used.
