Laser Diode Reliability & Burn-in Test System
Custom ATE laser diode burn-in, reliability, and life testing system for laser diode packages — with flexible DUT fixtures for fast changeovers. Ensure compliance
Catastrophic optical damage (COD), or catastrophic optical mirror damage (COMD), is a failure mode of high-power semiconductor lasers. It occurs when the semiconductor junction is overloaded by exceeding its power density and absorbs too much of the produced light energy, leading to melting and recrystallization of the semiconductor material at the facets of the laser.
