Thermal behavior of tensile-strain InGaAsP-InP lasers with varying ridgewidth
Abstract
The thermal behavior of tensile-strain InGaAsP-InP laser diodes with varying ridgewidth is investigated experimentally. The temperature rise during continuous-wave (CW) operation was determined by comparing CW light-current (L-I) curves with short-pulsed (L-I) curves at different substrate temperatures. It is shown that the thermal impedance R depends strongly on the width w of the ridge and that this effect is different before and after …
