Abstract(in English) Although facet stress is one of the important parameters in edge-emitting laser diodes (LDs), the relationship between facet stress and reliability in AlGaInAs edge-emitting LDs has been unclear. Thus, we prepared two types of LDs which difference is stress-direction at the facet. We carried out three types of reliability tests: forward-biased electrostatic discharge (ESD) tests, long-tern reliability tests, and accelerated aging tests. In ESD tests, cumulative degradation ratio of compressive-stress was 33% lower than that of tensile-stress. This effect was obtained by decrease in optical absorption. In long-term aging tests of 85℃ 8mW 5000h, degradation did not occur. In accelerated aging tests of 85℃ 200mA 800h, degradation occurred only for tensile-stress. This degradation mechanism was different from that due to optical absorption. Although degradation mechanism has been unclear, we found that this degradation is dependent on stress-direction at the facet.
