  • Abstract
    This paper reports the strategy for establishing the reliability assurance for LD´s and APD´s available for undersea transmission systems. On the basis of aging data during more than 104h and a statistical analysis for the reliability of semiconductor devices, the LD´s and Ge-APD´s lifetest plans for high reliability assurance are proposed.
