Abstract
The procedure of measuring the I(V) characteristics of laser diodes at fixe d time steps of a constant current life-test is revised. The possibility of using the test equipment itself to extract the characteristics is investig ated and demonstrated. This eliminates the most troublesome manual procedur e in life-testing several devices. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All right s reserved.
