Abstract
The strong temperature dependence of a semiconductor lasers performance is dearly apparent in a comparison of pulsed versus continuous- wave operation; the former leads to lower threshold current, 1,2 higher quantum efficiency, 2 more stable performance over varying ambient temperature, 3 and the ability to operate at longer wavelengths.3
