What is Diode Laser?
A Diode laser is similar to a light emitting diode which is comprised of a junction between two semiconductors. These semiconductors are small and are made of very thin slices of semiconducting material, and are very carefully manufactured so as to create a perfect p-n junction. It uses p-n junction to emit coherent light in which the waves are of same frequency and phase. This coherent light is produced is known Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Since a p-n junction is used to produce laser light, this device is named as a diode laser.
What are the major applications for Diode Laser?
Diode lasers are ideal for applications such as industrial, medical, defense, life science, scientific instrumentation, consumer electronics and others. Low power diode lasers are used in an increasing number of familiar applications in consumer electronics such as barcode readers, CD/DVD players, laser printers, fiber optic communications, security systems, surgical instruments and others.
Diode lasers have many industrial applications such as cutting, welding, engraving, drilling, scribbling etc. These are used in all major areas of electronics for autonomous vehicles where LIDAR systems implemented for autonomous driving. It is widely used in medical machines for non-invasive and cataract surgeries and other medical applications.
Market Research and Market Trends of Diode Laser Ecosystem
Green laser diodes have wide range of applications in displays and smartphones which are delivering a wide range of highly saturated colors and focus-free operation. These diodes have also been increasingly incorporated in several applications in military, medical, semiconductor and instrumentation sectors. Their ability to operate in a wide range of temperature has significantly enhanced green laser diodes utility. The laser typically operates at 2V and its wavelength can be modulated at frequencies higher than 500 MHz
Laser diodes made from the AlGaInN material system is an emerging technology used for defense, security and sensing applications. The AlGaInN material system allow laser diodes to be fabricated over a wide range of wavelengths from 380nm to 530nm and hence giving rise to novel applications including displays and imaging systems, free-space and underwater telecommunications, optical atomic clocks and atom interferometry.
Many computing devices are extensively using diode lasers to enable 3D sensing systems, which are transforming the user interface for facial recognition in smartphones and other consumer devices. Google’s Tango, an augmented reality and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) service for smartphones involves the use of laser diodes.
The trend of miniaturization of headlight systems in cars is increasing rapidly which will drive the demand for laser diodes. Mainly, laser diodes have a small size, which enables automotive companies to miniaturized headlight systems that provides a high intensity of the beam.
