Laser Diode Market Driver and Opportunities

Rise in Adoption of VCSEL for 3D Sensing Application

to Favor Market Growth

3D sensing technologies are used in various industries such as consumer electronics, medical, industrial, automotive, and automation. The 3D sensing technologies in these applications help to gain high precision and accuracy for the required task. For example, 3D sensing technologies in cameras help scan and render objects in 3D, one of the most common uses in smartphones, automobiles, drones, and robots. In consumer electronics such as smartphones, it is widely used for facial recognition and gesture control technologies. In industry automation, vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is used for accurate sensing technologies. In addition, it is widely adopted in virtual reality and gaming applications. Thus, the rise in these industries contributes to the requirement for 3D sensing technologies, which further demands VCSEL. To cater to the demand for VCSEL, several market players are introducing new VCSEL products. A few of them are mentioned below:

  • In April 2022, TRUMPF launched new VCSEL products to expand their VCSEL product portfolio for 3D sensing in consumer and industrial applications.
  • In March 2021, IQE PLC unveiled an IQVCSELTM product line to expand its VCSEL portfolio for service communication and advanced sensing markets.
  • In March 2021, Lumentum Operations LLC launched five and six-junction VCSEL array products for advanced consumer and other 3D sensing applications.

Further, the use of VCSEL-based imaging increases the power and wavelength for 3D sensing. Its ability to produce higher power outputs makes it an optimal solution for its robotics and autonomous vehicle applications. Thus, the rise in the adoption of VCSEL for 3D sensing applications contributes to the laser diode market growth.
