Injection Laser Diode: Introduction
- An injection laser diode is a semiconductor device that produces coherent radiation, which means all waves are at the same frequency and phase when current is passed through the device.
- Injection laser diode semiconductors are small and are made of very thin slices of semiconducting material. They are very carefully manufactured to create a perfect p-n junction.
- Based on type, injection laser diodes are divided into blue laser diode, red laser diode, infrared laser diode, and others. They are used in optical storage & display, telecom & communication, industrial applications, medical applications, military & defense, instrumentation & sensors, and other applications.
Rise in Demand for Blue Laser Diode
- Blue laser diode is the fastest growing segment of the injection laser diode market. A blue laser diode emits electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 405 and 483 nanometers; the human eye sees this range of color as blue.
- The rise in implementing innovative technologies in laser projectors to achieve better display quality, increasing demand for high-quality displays, rise in use of laser phosphor as a light source instead of traditional lamps, increasing use of laser projectors which use blue laser diodes as a light source, and rise in investments in research and development related to blue laser diodes is expected to propel the growth of the blue laser diode market during the forecast period.
- Moreover, blue laser diodes are being used for multiple applications including welding, and 3D printing of metals including copper and gold in material processing.
- The medical application segment holds significant share of the global injection laser diode market due to the rise in demand for injection laser diodes in the healthcare sector as they assist physicians, rise in demand for cosmetic surgery procedures, and increasing dermatological treatments such as contouring, skin resurfacing, wrinkle and pigmentation reduction, and tattoo removal, all of which is likely to boost the growth of the global injection laser diode market during the forecast period.
- In January 2020, Ushio, Inc. a Japanese company launched a new 660nm red laser diode, which produces an output power of 200mW CW/400mW pulsed. These high-power laser diodes provide a built-in monitoring photo-diode at the lasing wavelength.
