Abstract: We report the fabrication of 1.5 – 1.6 μm light-emitting modules based on an AlGaInAs/InP heterostructure with strain-compensated quantum wells in new, smaller, thermally stabilized housings. Their performance is tested under extreme operating conditions. The reliability of such modules and stability under the influence of climatic factors is studied.

Keywords: superluminescent diode, quantum well, elastic stress compensation, AlGaInAs/InP, fiber-optic gyroscope.
