CW Fiber Amplifier Market

CW Fiber Amplifier Market: Introduction

• Single-mode continuous wave (CW) fiber amplifiers have been designed to operate at power levels from 1064 nm to kW over narrow line-width and up to 10 kW over much broader line-width
• The fiber amplifiers in the wavelength range of 1060 nm to 1080 nm have diverse applications in industrial, aerospace and defense, and scientific research and are still progressing toward higher power performance
• An increasing number of applications require wavelengths shorter than 1030 nm and longer than 1100 nm. At shorter wavelengths, smaller quantum defects enable for lower thermal load, higher conversion efficiencies, and higher nonlinear effect thresholds, which may facilitate higher power operation. This is driving the CW fiber amplifier market.
• CW fiber amplifiers are used in application of nanotechnologies, optical component testing, optical component testing, test and measurement, microwave optics, optical remote sensing, LiDAR, etc.

Rising Demand for CW Fiber Amplifier in Automotive Industry 

• Based on end-use industry, the market can be segmented into aerospace and defense, automotive, industrial, telecommunication, and others
• The automotive segment of the global CW fiber amplifier market is estimated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to a rise in use of CW fiber amplifier for application of LiDAR (light detection and ranging) systems for autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems
• Increasing use of CW fiber amplifiers in LIDAR applications based on 1550nm fiber amplifiers is due to their ability to provide relatively high levels of laser power in a compact and lightweight package for automotive applications. This is expected to further propel the CW fiber amplifier market.
• Laser power is useful because it enables vehicles to ‘see’ farther and better. However, even a fairly high power 1550 nm laser is ‘eyesafe’ (meaning the laser light does not reach the retina), so it does not pose a danger to other drivers, which in turn is also propelling the CW Fiber amplifier market.

North America to Lead Global CW Fiber Amplifier Market

• In terms of region, the global CW fiber amplifier market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa
• Self-driving cars drive smoothly and avoid collisions using LiDAR, by detecting obstacles ahead. This improves the safety of the commuter and eliminates the risk of human negligence and inadvertent driving, making self-driving cars less prone to accidents.
• North America is a leading region, globally, in terms of adoption of LiDAR, owing to increased investment in ADAS and self-driving cars and a surge in awareness about the benefits of LiDAR systems. This, in turn, is driving the market in North America.
• Increasing usage of LiDAR plays an important role in ensuring safe and reliable operation of autonomous and assisted driving. Innovation in technologies are expected to increase the demand for CW fiber amplifier.
• The CW fiber amplifier market in North America is expected to expand at a high growth rate due to the presence of major players in the region and increased competition among them. The market in Europe and Asia Pacific is likely to expand at a steady pace during the forecast period owing to reduced competition in the market in these regions.
