Abstract
Today a user of laser diodes faces a complex problem when assessing the performance characteristics and expected life of different products. This paper describes the various practices that have proliferated in the absence of needed standards. In addition, a number of quality and reliability implications related to these practices are explored.© (1987) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
