Abstract
High power degradation mechanisms in gallium arsenide and gallium nitride based diode laser devices are compared. It will be demonstrated that in both material systems the same physical mechanism takes effect and causes a catastrophic optical damage. The differences in appearance of the degradation in the two systems are explained by intrinsic material properties.
