Abstract
A lifetime projection model of semiconductor laser diodes (LD) is presented . By correlating initial thermal characteristics and long-term degradation, a relationship between LD degradation and ambient temperature has been inv estigated. The proposed model is found to be efficient for the lifetime pro jection of LDs, which requires a thermal characterization only at t = 0.
