Abstract
The degradation of cw double-heterostructure semiconductor lasers is analyzed. It is clearly shown that the recoverable initial degradation mode of long-life AlxGa1−xAs-GaAs lasers is caused by a reduction of minority-carrier lifetime, the effect of which is readily distinguished from other possible processes such as increased cavity loss or minority-carrier leakage.
