Abstract

Non-absorbing mirror (NAM) lasers, also known as window lasers, were developed to increase catastrophic optical damage level of the devices. In this work we present the analysis of the laser diodes (LD) front facet temperature distribution. Micro-thermoreflectance technique is used to perform a detailed temperature maps of the operating LDs. Such a technique gives us temperature maps with a high spatial resolution equal 0.6μm. We demonstrate micro thermoreflectance as a perfect tool to determine real temperature distribution of the operating laser diode front facet.
