摘要
We discuss the reliability of the oxide VCSELs made by Agilent Technologies (formerly part of Hewlett Packard). Measurements of operating temperature in fiber optic modules are given; these temperatures are higher than generally assumed. General challenges with oxide VCSEL reliability are introduced, and different types of failures are discussed. Long-term oxide VCSEL lifetest results are presented, along with observations about the thermal and current acceleration models. Production monitoring strategies are discussed, and the basic degradation phenomenology is briefly shown.
