Abstract:This paper presents a performance study done on a semiconductor laser diode in a moisture condensing environment. Devices with laser diodes are used in a wide variety of electronic applications and in the various climatic conditions. The motivation behind this study is a common environmental exposure, where a device using a laser diode is brought into a relatively humid building from a dry, cold, outside environments. Under such conditions, condensation occurs on various components of the device, including the… Show more
