The Study of the Dependence of the Efficiency of Low-power Semiconductor Lasers from the Power Consumed from the Power Source
In this paper is results of research of dependence of efficiency of a semiconductor laser from the power consumed from the power source. The dependence of the efficiency of low* power laser on the power consumption has a clearly pronounced maximum, which is explained by the attainment of radiant crystal a certain critical temperature, after which an increase in input power leads to an increase in the radiated, but the efficiency of energy conversion decreases. The absolute value of the radiated power was determined by a thermal method.
