Abstract: An electron-microscopic investigation was made of the end mirror faces of cw InGaAsP/lnP lasers which failed in the course of accelerated life tests (up to 1000 h at 70–100 °C). Surface defects were observed on the mirror faces and they resembled optical damage defects reported for GaAlAs lasers.
