The cumulative milestone comes after two years of significant growth in demand for vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, driven by trends such as 3D face recognition in smartphones
Thorlabs has released new versions of its 1,300nm MEMS‐VCSEL swept‐wavelength laser sources
A French start-up detailing its hopes of being the first to commercialise quantum single-photon light sources represents the first time EPIC has focused on quantum technology at one of its events
VCSELs are known for their size, reliability, volume scalability and cost effectiveness. With more industries catching on to their potential, it’s no wonder the VCSEL market is forecast to be $3.1bn in four years, says Keely Portway
European scientists are using lasers to create light-speed broadband connections and remove the data bottlenecks that could cause the internet to grind to a halt as demand increases
Optical communication component supplier, Finisar, has opened a manufacturing facility in Sherman, Texas to increase the production capacity of its VCSELs
The VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser) market will be worth $3.1 billion by 2022, research firm Markets and Markets has reported
Despite having already been around for more than 40 years, VCSELs are still in the beginning of their life cycle. However, the technology is set to reach its full potential in the near future, writes Dr Joseph Pankert, general manager at Philips Photonics
The capability to manufacture vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL) using high-volume semiconductor manufacturing techniques has now been made possible, thanks to the sucessful completion of a €23 million EU project
Philips Photonics, part of Royal Philips, is doubling capacity at its laser-diode facility in Ulm, Germany in order to meet the demand for VCSEL diodes in data communication, consumer sensing and industrial thermal processing
