Abstract of the Disclosure A method for screening double heterostructure laser diodes before mounting and packaging is disclosed. At a normal laser diode operating temperature, a range of pulsed current is passed through the laser diode and the lasing threshold current and slope efficiency of the laser diode are monitored. The laser diode is then subjected to a burn-in process in which it is driven at a high junction temperature for an extended time period. Subsequently the lasing threshold current and slope efficiency are again monitored by applying the same range of pulsed current at the normal operating temperature. If either the threshold current or the slope efficiency have changed by …

Why it's free to use
- Granted October 29, 1985. A Canadian patent filed before October 1, 1989 lasted 17 years from grant, so its term ended October 29, 2002.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
