Optoelectronic Transmitter Edge Emitter Lasers

This report provides a ten-year forecast of the global consumption, production, markets, and technology trends of optical transmitter edge emitter lasers. The edge emitting transmitter laser diode forecast is segmented by wavelength, data rate, output power level and integration level, as detailed in the category list below. The forecast also will be segmented by wavelength control—

• Conventional Fixed Wavelength
• Precise Fixed Wavelength (ITU grid compliant)
• Tunable/Switchable Wavelength

The worldwide consumption of transmitter laser diodes will rise rapidly, driven by the strong demand for more connections to new business and residential subscribers plus increase bandwidth per subscriber. Average prices for specific laser diodes will fall substantially, due to growing quantities and increased integration. This will be partially offset by a trend to higher data rates, output power and wavelength stability.
