Light–current–voltage (LIV) characteristics of a 130-μm-wide and 3-mm-long Epi-down mounted device working in pulsed mode at different heat-sink temperatures. The voltages of the device working at 10 K and 77 K are also presented. The inset shows the exponential fitting between the threshold current density and the temperature.
