Abstract
A method for analyzing the reliability of optoelectronic elements rapidly is described. A plurality of optoelectronic elements are tested and measured by a spectrum analyzer to obtain noise equivalent power (NEP) and peak of noise power spectrum of each optoelectronic element at a frequency. An electrical cycle test is performed by alternately imposing forward bias and reverse bias on the optoelectronic elements with cycles. Then, the spectrum analyzer tests and measures the optoelectronic elements with the electrical cycle test at the frequency to determine whether the NEP and peak of noise power spectrum of the optoelectronic elements with the electrical cycle test are higher than those of optoelectronic elements without the electrical cycle test. Furthermore, the NEP and peak of noise power spectrum of the optoelectronic elements with the electrical cycle test are compared with the statistic standard deviation to obtain the optoelectronic elements having reliability problems.
