Abstract :
Methods of measuring thermal impedance of lasers have traditionally compared devices under CW and pulsed current operation where it is assumed that heating is negligible for the latter. This assumption is untrue as heating still occurs within the duration of the current pulse. The authors describe an improved method for the measurement of thermal impedance
