Tunable Lasers Market Analysis

An increase in the capacity of fiber optic components through dynamic reconfigurability is further projected to drive the tunable laser market growth in the coming years. Further, factors such as constant technological innovations, decelerating product prices, player consolidations, and fierce rivalry propel the demand for tunable lasers from various applications, such as photochemistry, spectroscopy, optical communications, and atomic vapor laser isotope separation. For developing various photonics technologies, such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR), fiber optics, optical lenses, nuclear emission study, and laser diode spectroscopy, scientific research institutes and universities worldwide rely on acute measuring equipment. The widespread use of tunable lasers in photobiology, hyperspectral imaging, detector calibration, and spectroscopy (reflection and transmission), coupled with the rise in the use of tunable lasers across several medical applications such as therapeutic, diagnostic applications and laser-based face and skin rejuvenation treatments, is propelling the tunable laser market growth.  

Tunable Lasers Market Overview

A tunable laser is a laser with a wavelength of operation that can be reformed in a controlled manner. While all laser gain media allow small changes in output wavelength, only limited types of lasers allow continuous tuning over a considerable wavelength range. Tunable lasers allow adjusting the output wavelength depending on its use cases. High-speed tuning is possible with some tunable lasers, which are referred to as wavelength agile or frequency agile. These lasers usually work in a continuous mode with a narrow emission bandwidth.
