Abstract :
This paper describes reliability data for multi-stripe arrays of laser diodes with limited emitter count. The empirical behavior of these arrays is compared with a model based on independent random failures of the individual stripes in a multi-element array operating in an ensemble mode. Such reliability data is of particular interest for multi-mode multi- stripe laser pump modules operating in the 910 nm to 990 nm wavelength range.
