Abstract :
Thermal effects in laser diodes can strongly influence their performance. The authors describe the thermal analysis of a double-heterostructure laser diode for a range of heatsink combinations. The effects of indium solder thickness and the incorporation of a thin film of diamond are illustrated for both transient and steady state cases.
