REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY

The use of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) has increased in the optical communications industry in the past 15 years. The increasing demand of VCSEL in consumer electronics products and other high-end applications such as gesture recognition and 3D imaging have spurred the demand of VCSELs. Extensive research and development by companies and defense services for VCSELs across the world resulted in high-power conversion efficiency of 63.4% in the current year, considering that other types of commercially available lasers have typical power conversion of around 20% to 25%. 

SCOPE OF REPORT

The VCSELs market is segmented into the following categories:

• Applications: Optical fiber data transmission, analog broadband signal transmission absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), laser printers, computer mice, biological tissue analysis, chip scale atomic clock and others.
• Materials: gallium nitride (GaN), gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP) and others (AlGaAs, InGaAsN, etc.).
• Colors: Red, green, blue-violet, infrared and other colors.
• Geography: North America is segmented into the U.S., Canada and Mexico; Europe is segmented into France, Italy, Germany, the U.K., Russia, and CIS; Asia-Pacific is segmented into China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and others, while, the rest of the world (RoW) covers the Middle East and South America.
• Industry and competitive analysis.
• Patent analysis.
• Company profiles.

INTENDED AUDIENCE
