Paper Abstract

The use of optical beam induced current (OBIC) and photoluminescence (PL) imaging is a valuable tool for failure analysis of laser diodes. Examples of applications to three different types of lasers demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach and the high resolution attainable. Differences with the more popular SEM techniques are also discussed.
