M. Buijs et al., DEPENDENCE OF LIFETIME OF II-VI SEMICONDUCTOR-LASERS ON OUTPUT POWER FOR DIFFERENT MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS, Electronics Letters, 32(14), 1996, pp. 1290-1291
The lifetime of green II-VI semiconductor lasers was measured for diff
erent output powers and mounting configurations. Epi-down mounting was
found to result in lifetimes almost twice as long as for epi-up mount
ing.
