Abstract
An accurate, temperature-dependent model has been developed for the DC I-V characteristic of an InP-based double heterojunction (DH) laser by parameter extraction using the ideal diode equation model. The parameters of the ideal diode equation can then be used to determine junction quality and reproducibility. The change in device parasitic resistance has been measured and its temperature dependence found. A relationship between threshold current and ideality factor is proposed. The deviation between the measured and modeled I-V characteristic can be used to determine threshold current accurately, independently of optical measurements.<>
