3D sensor technology has developed into a ‘game-changer’ for smart products using vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) as efficient light sources. VCSEL-based sensor technology supports applications such as AI, internet-of-things (IoT), and AR/VR technologies. It also simplifies the integration of smart systems into our everyday chores. However, because VCSELs have special properties, their characterization is more complex than that of other typical laser sources.
The use of this photonic technology is also reaching galactic boundaries! As unprecedented high speed intra-satellite data transfers used in space communications grow rapidly so does the need for increased research of VCSEL applications for next generation spacecrafts.
Learn more about the challenges of spectral measurement of laser diodes with a defined error budget and traceability by visiting our VCSEL industry page and watch an interactive VCSEL video highlighting Instrument Systems GmbH's portfolio of VCSEL instruments.
