  • Abstract
    Results are reported of a lifetest to compare the degradation of long-lived 20 ¿m stripe oxide isolated GaAlAs lasers operated CW and under simulated 140 Mbit/s optical-fibre-system conditions. Following operation at 55°C and 5 mW output for 12000 h it is reasonable to suggest that degradation is not enhanced by operation under 140 Mbit/s system conditions.
