What is VCSEL?

Vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) is a semiconductor laser diode. Unlike edge emitting laser diodes, VCSEL emits upward, so it can be easily packaged as a transmitter array containing hundreds of transmitters on a single chip. VCSEL was originally used in the telecommunications industry and is now widely used as a light source in sensing applications. Low power (mW) applications include face and gesture recognition, proximity sensors, and augmented reality displays. High power applications include laser radars for robots, unmanned aerial vehicles and autonomous vehicles. These new applications rely on batteries to run and need to minimize power consumption. Therefore, VCSEL power, beam profile, noise and other characteristics are very critical. VCSEL is usually coupled with passive optics or scanning optics to generate a very wide beam, usually in pulse mode.
