Scientific approach to figuring out max drive current

I became curious, if temperature of the diode affects the onset of the wiggles in the L/I curve. Sure it does.

I can't say it's totally unexpected. Upon heating, the wiggles start at higher currents. But the output power at the onset drops. So the wiggles are not tied to specific output power, and to specific current.
