Global VCSEL Market: Overview

Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) is a semiconductor-based diode with a laser beam emitting perpendicular to top surfaces. VCSEL are critical technologies used with existing and new components to run some of the complicated applications such as 3D facial recognition, 3D sensors, back camera with light detecting and ranging technology (LiDAR), automated driving technology, and high-speed data communication such as 5G.

Improvement in television technologies has led to higher resolution and with VCSEL it can further be enhanced. Multimode VCSEL are used to transmit high speed data in short range. Technology giant hubs like Microsoft, apple, google are investing heavily in VCSEL researches to see possibilities of how to improve the current technology and application in their devices. Increase in cloud computing allows flow of data anywhere which attracts huge data traffics, in order to ease the flow of data high-speed transceivers and AOCs are set up which operate at about 500G data rates.

VCSEL Market:? COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The global VCSEL market has witnessed a downturn in the sales for short term owing to the hindered possibilities of not being manufactured in various countries due to lockdown enforcement. The decline in supply of VCSEL products will delay deployment of 5G technology. However, the world markets are slowly opening to their full potential and theirs a surge in demand of VCSEL products. The market would remain sluggish in upcoming year but it is expected to gain momentum due to demand of 5G technology and other applications as well. The restrictions imposed by various nations to contain COVID had stopped the production resulting in a disruption across the whole supply chain.

VCSEL Market:?  Growth Factors

Automotive industry is has ample opportunities for VCSEL technology such as LiDAR guidance system for driverless or auto pilot vehicles. Campiness like tesla, apple are researching extensive in this segment to make auto pilot more safe and accurate. Consumer electronic devices such as mobile etc. have used VCSEL technology earlier and are still progressing.  Consumers electronic are one of the key factors for VCSEL market growth.

VCSEL is used for optical communications as single optic fiber transmitters. Multimode fibersare used in both short and long range space communication lines.
