  • Abstract
    Experiments with stripe-geometry lasers show that Byer\´s results for degradation of pulsed diodes can not be generalized to CW conditions. Diodes subjected to CW injection-current density of 8 \\times 10^{3} A/cm2show very little degradation after close to 1000 hours of operation at room temperature.
