The laser diode is a forward-biased semiconductor diode that emits coherent light when electrons and holes are stimulated by an electrical current into the p-n junction. This device is similar to a light-emitting diode in which a diode is pumped directly with electrical current, creating lasing conditions at the diode’s junction. Fiber-optic communications, medical equipment such as laser surgery equipment, and a variety of industrial uses such as material processing, welding, and cutting all depend on laser diodes. Advances in laser technology, such as increased power output and improved energy efficiency, as well as the expanding application of laser diodes in cutting-edge fields like autonomous cars, 3D sensing, and LiDAR systems, are major trends influencing the market. The growing need for high-speed data transfer, increasing demand for consumer electronics, and laser-based medical devices are driving the laser diode market growth. On the contrary, the increased initial investment for laser diodes as compared to other light-emitting diodes is challenging the market growth.
