Pulse Laser Diode Market 2024 Research, Recent Trends and Growth Forecast

May 26, 2021

A pulse laser diode is a device that converts electrical signal into light signal. In other words, laser didoes are the semiconductor devices that use stimulated emissions of electromagnetic radiation and optical amplification to emit the light. Pulse laser diodes are mostly operated at low duty cycle.
Pulse laser diodes are designed with high current pulses to generate high power optical signal. A normal pulse laser diode has a duty cycle of less than 0.1%, such that a 100 nanosecond optical pulse is chased by an interval of 100 microseconds. A typical laser diode operates in the infrared and visible regions.
The pulse laser diodes are able to generate thousands of watts and also can be turned on and off instantly to control spot heating. As compared to other types of lasers, pulse laser diodes use very low amount of power. Most of the laser diodes operate having voltage drop of less than 2V, with power requirement regulated by its current setting. In case of a typical laser diode, a maximum efficiency of 30% is easily achieved.
These laser diodes feature high peak power under pulsed operation. Various types are available with different peak output power and emission widths. The laser diodes can be used for distance measurements such as laser radar, hazard monitoring in security applications, etc.

Excellent power stability with temperature and the high peak of pulse power into aperture are the major drivers of the pulse laser diode market. The other drivers that support the growth of the market are the optical characteristics of the pulse laser diode, ruggedness of didoes, and its small and compact size.
Industrial and commercial applications of pulse laser diodes have increased greatly. The small and compact size and ruggedness of the laser didoes enable the diodes to work in spaces and environments where other types of diodes cannot operate.
Modulation of the pulse laser diodes at high frequencies further boosts the growth of the market.
Relatively high peak powers and efficient operation have made pulse laser diodes ideal for applications such as solid-state laser pumping and range finding.

In terms of region, the global pulse laser diode market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.
North America has dominant market share owing to high demand for pulse laser diodes for surveying equipment in construction industry and for laser therapy in biomedical industry.
Europe has the second largest market share as demand for pulse laser diodes is increasing for speed monitoring of vehicles on roads and in traffic signals. Pulse laser diode automates traffic signals in most countries in this region.
Furthermore, the global pulse laser diode market is likely to steadily rise in Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa due to rise in demand for pulse laser diodes from the automotive and communication industry.
