We investigated the short term stability of the optical output power of 450nm InGaN test lasers. The short term degradation strongly depended on ridge width. It was mainly caused by an increase in threshold current. From measurements of subthreshold wave-length blueshift, carrier lifetime, and output power, we found a decrease in carrier density after 15h of aging. We show a direct correlation of the short term aging with current spreading effects.
