Catastrophic Optical Damage

Catastrophic Optical Damage is a failure mechanism in semiconductor laser diodes characterized by the sudden and irreversible degradation of the optical output facet due to intense localized heating and subsequent melting caused by high photon and carrier densities at the mirror surfaces.
