Introduction
This chapter discusses optical uniformity of doped laser wafer substrates, impurity trapping effects in active laser quantum wells (QWs), deep-trap accumulation at active layer interfaces, and local laser mirror temperatures as a function of output power, laser material, vertical structure, number of active quantum wells, mirror coating, heat spreader, and the laser die mounting technique. Fundamentals and experimental setups of the relevant measurement techniques will also be discussed and include photoluminescence (PL) mapping, low-temperature PL spectroscopy, deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and Raman ...
