Which degradation occurs within laser diodes, due to exceeding forward current limits?

💡 Explanation

When increased current densities are present, leading to high optical power at the facet, **catastrophic optical mirror damage (COMD)** occurs due to localized heating disrupting the crystal lattice; therefore, this causes failure, rather than alternate effects at lower power.
