Abstract

The thermal impedance of laser diodes was determined by the measurement of thermal transients. The parameters of an equivalent R-C network were synthesized from the transient response. The network was compared with the real layer structure of the device. The effects of structure, mounting and aging on the temperature distribution were investigated with this method.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels Messung thermischer Einschwingvorgänge wurde die thermische Impedanz von Laserdioden bestimmt. Auf Grundlage des Sprungverhaltens wurden die Parameter eines äquivalentenR-C-Gliedes ermittelt, das mit der wahren Schichtenstruktur verglichen wurde. Mittels dieser Methode wurde der Einfluss von Struktur, Aufbau und Alterung auf die Temperaturverteilung untersucht.
