Laser Physics
A laser is a source of coherent light. It contains an optical oscillator that increases the amplitude of an optical field while maintaining its phase. This coherent amplification is achieved through Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER).
Technical Notes
Laser Diode Characterization
Laser diodes are characterized by their inherent physical properties within five distinct categories, including: electrical, spatial, spectral, optical, and dynamic properties.
Technical Notes
Laser Diode Production Burn-In
High temperature burn-in screening is used in laser diode manufacturing to screen out devices that are likely to have unacceptably short lives and to ensure that the remaining population of lasers will have a statistically acceptable level of reliability.
Technical Notes
Laser Diode Life Testing
Life test studies are used to collect laser diode lifetime data under carefully controlled operating conditions. These data are then used to develop statistical models that can predict the laser lifetime under the intended operating conditions.
Technical Notes
Fundamentals of Laser Diode Control
To assess the quality, performance, and characteristics of laser diodes, manufacturers often perform exhaustive testing which requires electro-optical, spectral and spatial characterization of the laser output.
