The self-aligned processing technology is adopted to make seperated absorbing ridge waveguide (RWG) light emitting diode
and a λ/4 dielectric film is coated on the front surface to increase spontaneous emitting composition in the light output and fibre coupling efficiency. High power RWG LED made by these technologies has relative small lightbeam divergence angle and more than 20μW light output power
maximum 50μW
are got from the coupled standard single-mode fibre under 25C and 100mA DC drive current. 70 devices are taken to carry out the h fetest under 50
80
120℃ and 150mA CW drive current
almost 248 500 device hours are tested. According to the life test results
we can get 1. 2×106 h of lifetime under the condition of 25C ambient temperature and 150mA drive current
and the degenerate activated energy is Ea=0. 48eV.
