  • Abstract
    We present reliability results for 850 nm Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) devices. Hundreds of parts from multiple wafer lots and package styles were subjected to burn-in for thousands of hours at various temperatures and currents, yielding more than one million device-hours of data. Possible failure mechanisms are also discussed.
