EPIC Market Report on Emerging Non-Telecom VCSEL Applications by Bruce Bateman

VCSELs are no longer just for data centers. Now, with new materials, VCSELs can be used for detection of select gases, as Quantum Clocks for Position, Navigation, & Timing (PNT), for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), select high power applications, and even LiDAR – all while retaining their very small size and low price point. VCSELs shine in Satellite and Space implementations – in part due to their favorable SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) characteristics. VCSELs also excel in Neuromorphic Computing**, classifying images quickly, which will be crucial for safe Autonomous Driving. Please enjoy this latest EPIC report – created exclusively for EPIC members only.

Neuromorphic Computing is, in addition, covered extensively in EPIC’s “3D Imaging Utilizing VCSELs” report, also available now.
