We used local focused ion beam (FIB) milling to expose cross-sectional facets and to fabricate thin membranes, with submicron precision, for SEM/EBIC and TEM investigations of strained InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum well ridge-type laser diodes. We analyzed the laser structure and mirror coating by conventional and high-resolution TEM, and studied intentionally generated defects in overstressed lasers. For this we applied EBIC imaging to select the defective areas for local FIB milling.
