Reliability of Semiconductor Lasers and Optoelectronic Devices

Reliability of Semiconductor Lasers and Optoelectronic Devices simplifies complex concepts of optoelectronics reliability through a focus on case studies and structured methods. The book provides a brief look at the fundamentals of laser diodes and presents real world case studies that discuss the principles of reliability and what occurs when rules are broken. In addition, the book comprehensively looks at optoelectronics devices and their reliability principles to avoid the most common failure mechanisms and presents key materials and devices, including silicon photonics, high power laser diodes, VCSELS, InGaN LEDs and Lasers, and AlGaN LEDs, and more.

• Includes case studies and numerous examples of best practices and common mistakes that impact optoelectronics reliability
• Reviews key failure mechanisms that impact reliability, including degradation and grown-in defects
• Provides a look at reliability issues for silicon photonics, VCSELS, In
