Diode lasers are very reliable under normal operating conditions. However, like most semiconductor devices, they can be damaged or destroyed by inadvertent electrical or static discharges (ESD). Several precautionary guidelines to handling lasers are required to prevent latent damage to the laser. ESD can easily damage diode lasers, decreasing performance immediately or over time.
