Gallium Arsenide Lasing Diode Evaluation.

Abstract

This study was undertaken to relate the output power of certain Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) infrared lasers to the type of laser, to input current, and to temperature while pulse width and repetition rate are held constant. An initial objective, to evaluate long-term reliability of the lasers, was discontinued because the diodes under test were made obsolete by technological advances.
