Abstract: Based on the Arrhenius model, a rapid evaluation method for an infrared diode's normal lifetime is proposed, and the theoretical model is constructed. Accelerated life testing of an infrared light-emitting diode (IRLED), which takes less time than usual, is carried out under temperature and electric current stress. Using this method, the activation energy and the IRLED's normal lifetime are calculated and analyzed.

Key words: Arrhenius modelacceleration lifetime testIRLEDactivation energy
