Focus on ophtalmology (1/2)
MEDICAL APPLICATIONS
Description
Over more than five decades, use of lasers in ophthalmology has successfully shown effective and safe results in treating various eye conditions. Whether lasers are used to correct vision or repair damage due to degenerative diseases optimal laser type, wavelength, and pulse length are required.
Laser surgery can successfully treat many diseases including retinal tears and detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and glaucoma. Laser surgery can prevent loss of sight or provide improvement in vision
Principle of Refractive Eye Surgery
In photorefractive keratectomy in situ keratomileusis lasers (LASIK) are used to sculpt the cornea. This can also include various methods of surgical remodeling of the cornea, lens implantation or lens replacement (cataract surgery). Successful refractive eye surgery can cure common vision disorders such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism and reduce or eliminate the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Principle of Clouding Treatment
Clouding, or cataracts of the eye's natural lens, are the most common cause of vision loss in the elderly population. Accordingly, cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the world, Treatment involves removal of the lens for a prosthetic replacement. Lasers have recently been developed as a means to remove the lens via photodisruption (minimally invasive surgery).
Principle of Retinal (Micro) Coagulation
Diabetic macular edema is the most common cause of visual loss in persons under 50 years of age in the developed world. Retinal photocoagulation has been developed and recognized as a standard of treatment. Recently, the procedure was perfected due to introduction of micro-coagulation technique employing pulsed diode lasers.
Ophthalmology was the first medical field where lasers have found an application.

Laser cutting is a mature industrial process with high flexibility, non-contact and stress free steps that produce finished parts direct from the tool.
Laser cutting is a very precise process, with excellent dimensional stability, very small heat affected zone, and narrow cut kerfs. The cutting is achieved by heating the material using a focalized laser beam. As the material melts, it is effectively removed either by gas jet or vaporization, thus creating a cut kerf. Laser cutting can be accomplished through different techniques which involve different laser operating modes (pulsed or CW), energy level and the utilization or not of an assist gas, namely: vaporization, melt and blow, melt blow and burn, thermal stress cracking, scribing, cold cutting and reactive cutting.

3D sensing in smartphone - Comparison of DFB, FP and VCSEL (3/3)
SENSING APPLICATIONS
Rear-facing (“World-facing”): range ~ 5 m Front-facing: range < 1m
“Structured light” - pattern of dots is illuminated
onto subjects.
“Active stereo” - potential hybrid design that augments structured light with stereo vision.)
Early example of a consumer 3-D sensor based on structured light was Primesense for the
Microsoft Kinect console - earlier single-mode FP laser to illuminate multiple DOEs used,
recently replaced by VCSEL array.
Both designs successfully eliminated the zeroth-order transmission, which is a nagging issue for
eye safety.
Next-generation, rear-facing 3-D sensing technology
to detect and measure objects across a room.
Longer distance requires significantly more power to achieve the same resolution, however,
and the risks of eye safety become more disconcerting.
One particular advantage of all EELs in these applications is their intrinsic emission
brightness, which may help to extend the sensing range further.

RELATED REPORTS
Edge Emitting Laser (EEL) 2019 - Market and Technology Trends | Sample | www.yole.fr | ©2019
Since the development of lasers in the 1960s, they have been increasingly used in a large number of applications. This has propelled the laser market to a trillion dollar business since the 1990s. Nowadays, laser technologies are ubiquitous in plenty of traditional, as well as emerging, applications. These span material processing, optical communications, automotive front lighting, medical surgery and 3D sensing. The laser landscape is highly fragmented, with a wide variety of laser types, including diode lasers, fiber lasers, diode-pumped solid state lasers (DPSSLs), CO2 lasers and excimer lasers. Traditional applications cover industrial, scientific, consumer markets, but there are also many peculiar applications including military and biomedical markets with spectroscopic analysis.
In this report, Yole Développement focuses on semiconductor lasers, especially Edge Emitting Lasers (EELs). This laser light source has revolutionized the concept of laser systems that leads to new specific attributes including miniaturized devices, stabilized coherent light and narrow emission wavelengths.
In practice, EELs can be used as “direct” lasers but also coupled with optical fibers or crystals to make fiber-lasers or DPSSLs. The advanced laser technologies then provide specific advantages such as better beam quality, improved stability in terms of laser noise, and increased power output.
In 2018, EELs represented a $2.5B market opportunity and this figure is likely to reach $5.1B in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate for the period (CAGR2018-2024) of 13%. Growth will continue to be driven by the optical communication segment, such as optical systems for datacom and telecom. This is the largest segment today for EELs, comprising 56% of total revenue for 2018. Material processing and display applications are also substantial, making up 16% and 14% of the market respectively in 2018. However, their market shares will decline in the future as 3D sensing in LiDAR, and face/gesture recognition, medical and lighting applications emerge in the next five years. Those might represent potential killer applications for EELs in the middle/long term.
On the other hand, traditional applications such as printing and optical storage decline rapidly with “digitalization” and “all in the cloud” trends.
This report provides an in-depth analysis of major EEL applications: optical communication, material processing, medical, sensing, and printing, display, optical storage and lighting. It highlights the global landscape for EELs, including classification of EEL types by application and market segmentation. Detailed market forecasts are presented based on this segmentation.

EDGE EMITTING LASERS - MARKET AND TECHNOLOGY TRENDS 2019
EACH APPLICATION REQUIRES ITS OWN EEL TECHNOLOGY - A VARIETY OF POSSIBLE DESIGNS
EELs are complex photonic devices and different device designs have been developed:• Chip: Fabry Perot (FP) is the most common design
of EEL in use. Other designs such as Distributed Bragg Reflectors (DBRs), Distributed Feedback (DFB) and Broad Area Laser Diodes (BALDs), have been designed improving parameters that make them suitable for specific applications.
• Package: there is also a wide range of package types including TO can, butterfly, pigtail and direct chip on submount, depending on the application.
For the integrators questions may arise across wide ranges of parameters. What is the right laser device for my application? Which parameters are most important? Applications define device specifications
and several technical parameters must be taken into account, including wavelength, power output, spectral resolution, light beam quality and optical intensity.
Understanding the application requirement and evaluating EEL parameters is therefore key to make the right decisions in terms of investments. This is even more important as EEL price varies widely depending on design and technical parameters.
This report presents an in-depth analysis of EEL technology, detailing different possible designs and their pros/cons as well as their usage, challenges at manufacturing level, key attributes/parameters and suitability with the different applications.

NO SINGLE INDUSTRIAL PLAYER CAN TARGET ALL APPLICATIONS – TOO MANY DIFFERENT SPECIFICATIONS
The EEL business has a bright future but represents also a challenging market for the industry. There is a large variety of applications and system and device specifications, as well as a strong competitive landscape at the technology level, between direct diodes, fiber lasers, CO2 laser, DPSSLs and excimer lasers.
Consequently, the EEL industry is highly fragmented and diversified. Each application addresses a specific supply/value chain, and different positions have to be developed by industrials to access different markets. Leading players in the material processing domain are vertically integrated from EEL device to laser system, for example making laser dicers, as customers require turnkey solutions for their specific manufacturing process. For sensing or lighting applications, the trend is for companies to be much more specialized, as in pure EEL device manufacturers, as there are still plenty of challenges at device level with increasing performance, beam shaping, and decreasing cost. Another good example is the datacom industry, which highlights a diversity of positioning along the supply chain.
This report presents an analysis of the EEL industry, highlighting global trends, detailing the supply chain and key players for major applications, as well as business models and recent mergers and acquisitions.
