  • Abstract
    The use of light emitting diodes (LED´s) in optical communications systems is critically dependent on the availability of high power single fiber compatible devices capable of sustained operation, for times in excess of 105hours. In this paper, the design and evaluation of double heterojunction Burrus(1)type GaAlAs LED´s optimized for coupling to large core multimode glass fibers is described.
