is used as a detector, and the output is previously
adjusted by the load resistance R1.

. RELIABILITY

As the operating life time of optical devices. especially laser diodes. is important for reliability. it is explained
at this page. We sincerely hope that the "Mitsubishi semiconductor reliability handbook" will be of value
for basic concepts for quality. quality assurance system. reliability theory and reliability tests of Mitsubishi
semiconductor devices.

1. Definition of life time


The life time of laser diodes is defined as the
change of the. light output power P versus forward
current IF characteristic because the P-I characteristic
is the most important factor for laser diodes. a.

2. Occasion of Influence on lifetime


In the operating condition a large injection current density-kA/ c m' and a large optical density-MW / c m'
exist in certain areas of the active region of laser diode, so their permitted quantity is not large for excessive
current injection and excessive light output power.
So for practical purposes do not use the absolute maximum rating of the individual laser diodes.
Under the maximum absolute values the case temperature influences the operating lifetime of the laser
diode. Increasing case temperature causes the injection current to increase the temperature of the active
region, this results in accelerated degradation. Increasing the light output power causes the optical density
to increase resulting in accelerated degradation.
Acceleration of degradation caused by temperature and light output power is expressed experimentally as
follows.

• Surge current and heat radiation
In operating laser diodes. sufficient surge protection
measures are required. Surge current is easily
produced during power switching and output
adjustment.
Referring to the example of connections for
laser operation. and make sure that sufficient
care is taken.

· Prior light output adjustment should be done by load resistance from


several Q to over ten Q.
· Turn the switch of APC(ACC) circuit to regulated light output. If there is
any influence of optical feedback from solar battery. slant it a little and
let it receive the beam.

· Heatsinking (The life of laser diodes depends on the case temperature.

SAMPLE CHARACTERISTICS

I Light output vs. forward current


Typical light output vs. forward current charac-
teristics are shown in Fig.l. THe threshold current
for lasing is typically 45mA at room temperature.
Above the threshold, the light output increases
linearly with current, and no kinks are observed in
the curves. An optical power of about 3mW is
obtained at Ith + 10mA. Beacause Ith and slope
efficiency T/ (dPo/dIF) is temperature dependent,
obtaining a constant output .at varying temperatures
requires to control the case temperature Tc or the
laser current. (Control the case temperature or
laser current such that the output current of the
built- in monitor PO becomes constant.)

I Temperature dependence of threshold current (lth) Fig. 2 Temperature dependence of threshold current
A typical temperature dependence of the threshold
current is shown in Fig. 2. The characteristic
temperature To of the threshold current is typically
170K in Tc~60"C, where the definition of To is Ith
