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 CloudingTreatment
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.

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.

SENSING APPLICATIONS
Rear-facing (“World-facing”): range ~ 5 mFront-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

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
semiconductorlasers,especiallyEdgeEmittingLasers
(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.
Thisreportpresentsanin-depthanalysisofEELtechnology,
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.

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.
