The conducted tests have shown that the microscope thermography has a potential in characterizing microelectronic devices like semiconductor laser diodes and can be considered as a complementary tool in establishing thermal characteristics of these devices. %K microscope thermography %K blue lasers %K semiconductor lasers %U http://www.if.pwr.wroc.pl/~optappl/pdf/2010/no3/optappl_4003p609.pdf
