Abstract
We report on an experimental verification of a phenomenological model describing high-power and high-temperature operation of a compressivel y strained, InGaAsP multiple quantum well ridge-waveguide laser. The m odel, based on an assumption that mainly crystal heating defines optic al output power saturation, has been proved to adequately describe the experimental results on maximum operating temperature of the lasers.
