            Abstract : 
The performance and lifetest results of InGaAsP/InP LED´s emitting at 1.27 µm are described. At a current density of 10 kA/cm2, 40 µW of optical power is coupled into a 63 µm core, 0.21 NA optical fiber, and the projected lifetime at room temperature is approximately estimated to be 8 × 1010hours.
