Major
Market Developments
Alpes Lasers SA has been selected to supply QCLs for the US Air Force Research Laboratory under Standoff Illuminator for Measuring Absorbance and Reflectance Infrared Light Signatures (SILMARILS) program. SILMARILS is a part of Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) by the US Air Force Research Laboratory, Ohio. mirSense announced the launch of the uniMir quantum cascade lasers. uniMir is used for tracking gases such as methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2), formaldehyde (H2CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and others. Wavelength Electronics, Inc. announced the availability of low noise QCL driver for reverse polarity configurations. This device has the lowest current noise density.
The
research methodology used to estimate and forecast the QCL market begins with
capturing data on key vendor revenues through the secondary research that
include annual reports, press releases, investor presentations, white papers,
journals, certified publications, articles from recognized authors,
gold-standard and silver-standard websites, organizations, directories, and
databases (which include Factiva, Hoovers, and the Wall Street Journals). The
vendor offerings are also taken into consideration to determine the QCL market
segmentation. The bottom-up procedure was employed to arrive at the overall
market size of the global QCL market from the revenue of the key players in the
market. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market was split
into several segments and subsegments, which were then verified through the
primary research by conducting extensive interviews with people holding key
positions such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and executives. The market breakdown
and data triangulation procedures were employed to complete the overall market
engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and
subsegments.
HHL and VHL
packaged QCLs are expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2017 and 2022.
This growth is mainly attributed to the increasing significance of infrared
countermeasures (IRCM) in the military and defense industry. C-Mount Packaged
QCLs hold the largest market share due to their low cost.
Continuous wave QCLs held the largest
share of this market and are expected to grow at a very high rate between 2017
and 2022 due to their deployment in high-power applications in the industrial
and military and defense sectors for providing high duty cycles.
