            Abstract : 
To understand the aging mechanisms of lasers, we have developed a semi analytical electrical model giving access to the physical parameters of the quaternary active layer of 1.3 μm laser diodes. Coupled with the simulation of the leakage paths, this model is used to analyse the aging behaviour of a particular 1,3 μm B.H. laser diode´s structure.
