Nationstar Optoelectronics’ new VCSEL products are coming, bringing you a new era of intelligence

Since 2017, when Apple embedded VCSEL into the “bangs” above the iPhone As the core device of 3D imaging and sensing systems, VCSEL (full name Vertical-cavity Surface-emitting Laser) has the advantages of low power consumption, fast heat dissipation, high reliability, and strong intelligent scalability. It can better display its capabilities in consumer electronics, Internet of Things, data centers/cloud computing, autonomous driving and other fields. According to the latest forecast of the VCSEL market by research institution Yole Group, the overall size of the VCSEL market is expected to reach US$1.6 billion in 2022 and US$3.9 billion in 2027. The compound annual growth rate from 2022 to 2027 will reach 19.2%, and the market potential is promising.

Nationstar VCSEL devices

With the rapid development of intelligent information technology, the potential of VCSEL is being continuously released. VCSEL is mainly used in scenarios such as smartphones, drone obstacle avoidance, VR/AR, sweeping robots, and home cameras. Aiming at the application field of intelligent technology, Nationstar Optoelectronics relies on its own technical advantages and continues to research new technologies. Recently, the company's optoelectronic device division launched1005 VCSEL devices inject "star" vitality into the intelligent interconnection industry.

Nationstar's 1005 VCSEL device has small size, narrow half-wave width of spectral distribution, concentrated light-emitting angle, and higher sensitivity. It can be used in scenarios such as face recognition on smartphones.

Dual-chip, further reduced size

Through the design optimization of the substrate pad and die-bonding process, 1005 VCSEL has achieved a dual-chip process, successfully breaking through the space bottleneck, and the packaging technology has reached the industry-leading level; the size is smaller and thinner, and can be better applied to terminal products with smaller space, solving the pain point of limited space in small consumer electronics products.

Stable, safe and reliable

1005 VCSEL has excellent high anti-static ability, good reliability and higher safety performance. The antistatic level in HBM mode is class 2; at the same time, the device has undergone laser safety certification, successfully passed the IEC 60825 test, and is class 1.

Low power consumption, more responsive

With the unique packaging design, 1005 VCSEL further improves the heat dissipation performance of the device and significantly reduces power consumption; at the same time, after technical process upgrades, the device’s light-emitting angle is concentrated and the sensing sensitivity is improved!

Can be customized to meet your needs

The Optoelectronic Devices Division can carry out customized product size and performance design according to customer needs, and provide more considerate and professional technical solutions.

In terms of production capacity, the 1005 VCSEL of the Optoelectronic Devices Division has been supplied in batches, with a production capacity of up to 10KK/month. At present, the company has established strategic cooperative relationships with well-known domestic brand manufacturers, and the shipment volume of this series of products has reached 3KK/month.

As early as 2015, Nationstar Optoelectronics has begun to actively deploy infrared LED, ultraviolet LED and other subdivision fields. In 2017, the company launched the VCSEL infrared 3535, which was the first domestic VCSEL infrared product using gallium arsenide semiconductor material at that time. After continuous technological iteration, the Optoelectronic Devices Division continues to enrich the layout of sensing device products, such as health sensing devices used in wearable smart devices, detection sensors used in ultraviolet disinfection products, blood oxygen detection sensors used in oximeters, etc., and actively cooperates with domestic and foreign head brand manufacturers to jointly explore the field of artificial intelligence, open up more application scenarios, and let innovative technologies continue to refresh people's imagination of a better life.
