“Advancements in Multi-Junction VCSELs and SWIR Sensing Technologies”
- A prominent trend in the VCSEL market is the development of multi-junction VCSELs, which offer higher power efficiency and improved performance for applications like LiDAR and industrial sensing.
- Shortwave-Infrared (SWIR) VCSELs (1400–3000 nm) are gaining traction for cost-effective sensing solutions in consumer and industrial applications, providing enhanced penetration through materials like skin or fog.
- For instance, in April 2024, Vertilas and TriEye collaborated on 1.3 μm VCSEL-driven SWIR sensing solutions, improving performance in automotive and consumer applications.
- These advancements are transforming applications like 3D sensing and LiDAR, enabling higher precision and driving demand for next-generation VCSEL technologies.
