Abstract
The lifetime of high-power (430-460 mW, lambda-0.98 mu m) heterolasers was investigated at T = 70 degrees C. Slow degradation as well as sud den failure, characterised by a lognormal distribution, were observed. A statistical calculation was made of the maximum lifetime of heterol asers: it was found to be 5430 h at 70 degrees C for a pump current of 1 A.
