This paper reviews degradation modes and reliability in several kinds of InGaAsP/InP lasers and photodetectors used in optical fibre transmission systems. From the viewpoint of degradation mechanisms, BH type Fabry–Perot lasers, DFB lasers, a 0.98 μm strained quantum well InGaAs/GaAs laser, and InGaAs PIN photodetectors and APDs are reviewed.
