Abstract: The semiconductor laser has a resonator end face (15) and a semiconductor superlattice (16) which is applied to the resonator end face (15). The semiconductor superlattice (16) acts as a passivation layer for the resonator end face (15) and has a number of layers (16.1, 16.2, 16.3, 16.3), the material compositions of which are selected in such a manner that essentially no light is absorbed at the emission wavelength of the semiconductor laser (13), the layer assembly suppresses charge carrier transport from the active layer to the surface of the outermost layer (16.4) and good lattice adaption of the semiconductor superlattice (16) to the semiconductor laser is made possible at the same time.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for handling parameters in a test script for testing a computer program application. A method includes executing a test script for testing a function of a computer program, the test script including a command invoking the function, the command having arguments, the command arguments in the test script including a set of test input parameters for the function; determining the required input parameters for the function; and detecting an error if there is a mismatch between the required input parameters and the test input parameters.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for testing a feature of a software application includes forming a feature call by incorporating test data into a data structure that is part of a test script and sending the feature call to the software application containing the feature for testing.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for use in testing a computer program application, including an application having multiple versions. Information identifying a target system is obtained. Application information identifying the actual version of the application as installed on the target system is obtained. A test script is selected from multiple test script versions based on the actual version of the application. The selected test script is used to test the application as installed on the target system.

Abstract: A method and device for passivating the resonator end faces, in particular the cleaved edges of semiconductor laser diodes, by high-temperature epitaxy of the quaternary compound semiconductor InxGa1-xAsyP1-y, where (0?x?1 and 0?y?1). To passivate the InxGa1-xAsyP1-y, an additional passivation layer may be applied in situ. The semiconductor crystal is brought to the temperature required for the epitaxy by being heated. To avoid thermal destruction of the contact metal during the epitaxy, the metal is only deposited after the cleaving operation and the passivation. The deposition of the metal on the passivated laser bar is carried out by means of special equipment that allows deposition of metal on the entire surface of the laser and at the same time prevents vapour deposition on the cleaved edges. The method and device can be applied to the production of high-power laser diodes.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, providing a test configuration having an associated test script and one or more associated data containers. Each data container defines a set of parameters and one or more sets of variants, each set of variants specifying a value for each of the parameters in the set of parameters. Each data container is reusable with multiple test configurations. The test script has a set of test parameters and the test configuration further has a set of test parameter variants, each of the test parameter variants being a set of values for respective test parameters in the set of test parameters. The test parameter variants include one or more references for obtaining data values from one or more of the associated data containers.
