Abstract :
We report highly reliable 1060-nm DBR lasers with a single-wavelength output power larger than 350 mW and a failure rate as low as 3.2 kFITs at a heat-sink temperature of 25degC and a gain current of 500 mA. The reliability data of the high-power 1060-nm DBR lasers under longest aging tests at the highest level of current and temperature stress have been obtained for the first time, to the best of our knowledge
