"The shortwave infrared (SWIR) segment is projected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period."
The market for shortwave infrared VCSEL is projected to grow at a high rate during the forecast period. Shortwave infrared (SWIR) VCSELs are increasingly gaining traction in various high-tech applications due to their superior performance and versatility. SWIR VCSELs operate in the spectral range, which is highly beneficial for applications requiring enhanced sensitivity and resolution. SWIR VCSELs are increasingly utilized in environmental monitoring, spectroscopy, and medical diagnostics due to their superior penetration and minimal interference from ambient light. Companies are emphasizing joint product development of SWIR VCSELs to stay competitive. In April 2024, VERTILAS GmbH (Germany) and TriEye Ltd. (Israel) partnered to develop a 1.3-μm VCSEL-powered SWIR sensing system. Through this partnership, the companies have integrated TriEye's cost-effective SWIR sensors, fabricated using silicon CMOS processing, with VERTILAS GmbH's VCSEL arrays, which operate at longer wavelengths enabled by indium phosphide (InP) material. The new solution is targeted to cater to the growing demand for SWIR VCSELS FROM the automotive, consumer, biometrics, and mobile robots markets.
"Emerging & other applications segment of the VCSEL market to witness highest growth during the forecast period."
The market for VCSELs for emerging & other applications is expected to grow at the high CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is driven by the increasing use of VCSELs in automotive applications. VCSELs are pivotal in automotive applications, particularly advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles. They enable high-resolution 3D sensing and LiDAR systems essential for enhancing vehicle safety and navigation. As automotive manufacturers continue to prioritize safety and automation, the demand for VCSEL-based solutions is expected to surge. In September 2023, TRUMPF (Germany) and KDPOF (Spain) introduced a groundbreaking 980 nm multi-gigabit interconnect system designed specifically for automotive applications. This system utilizes VCSEL technology to achieve high-speed for data-transmission of up to 10 Gbps. By leveraging 980 nm wavelength VCSELs, the solution aims to enhance robustness and longevity, crucial for automotive environments. The partnership between TRUMPF and KDPOF aims to establish a new standard in optical data communication within automotive systems, with the ultimate goal of launching an integrated transceiver for multi-gigabit optical communications. This initiative underscores the growing adoption of VCSELs in automotive applications, driven by the demand for high-speed, reliable data transmission solutions in vehicles.
