Abstract:Reliability testing using accelerators such as temperature and humidity for electronic components has evolved fkom conventional Temperature/Humidity/Bias (THB) testing (85 "C/85% RH/Bias) to the use of highly accelerated temperature and humidity stress testing (HAST). This advancement was in part made possible by the availability of stable commercial HAST systems that have eliminated problems with condensation and pressure-reduction rates. In this paper we apply HAST to laser diodes. We believe that this is th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
