到 2030 年全球声光 Q 开关市场预测:按类型、光学材料、声学模式、用途和地区进行的全球分析Acousto-Optic Q-Switch Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Type (B Type, C Type and Other Types), Optical Material, Acoustic Mode, Application and By Geography |
根据 Stratistics MRC 的数据,预测期内全球声光 Q 开关市场将以 9.21% 的年复合成长率成长。
高能量脉衝雷射光束是利用雷射技术中的声光调Q(AO Q 开关)方法产生的。它依赖于声光结晶或其他材料内光和声波的相互作用。它们经常用于高功率、高能量雷射系统,其中脉衝定时和能量的精确控制至关重要。它用于多种行业,包括雷射光谱、距离检测、医疗雷射和雷射材料加工。
根据SEMI硅製造商集团(SMG)统计,2020年第一季全球硅晶圆面积出货量总计29.2亿平方英寸,较2019年季度总计28.44亿平方英吋成长2.7%,与去年同期相比下降4.3%。
脉衝雷射产生极高峰值功率的能力是声光调Q的主要优点之一。声光 Q 开关可将雷射从低强度连续波 (CW) 模式快速切换到高强度脉衝模式,在较长时间内储存能量并在非常短的持续时间脉衝中快速释放能量。这是市场拓展的主要要素。
儘管声光元件广泛应用于光纤网路和讯号处理应用,但它们也具有重要的压电和光弹性特性。铌酸锂波导管因其压电效应和光弹性特性而被用于这些声光元件中。然而,铌酸锂波导管元件占地面积巨大,导致光声交互作用较差。这种无效的导光导致效率下降,预计将对市场供应产生负面影响。
调Q提高了雷射的光束品质。模式之间的竞争减少,并且能量在振盪之前储存在雷射共振器,从而产生更相干和聚焦的雷射光束。当使用声光 Q 开关在脉衝模式下工作时,雷射介质内产生的总热量比在连续波 (CW) 模式下工作时少。这减少了雷射及其零件受到热损坏的机会。这正在影响市场扩张。
声光 Q 开关可以充分展示其功能的重复频率通常有限制。非常高的重复率可能无法维持有效的调Q,从而导致能量损失或雷射脉衝的稳定性降低。与其他 Q 开关技术相比,声光 Q 开关可能相当昂贵。使用者在为其雷射系统选择调Q技术时必须考虑自己的预算。这些都阻碍了市场的进一步扩张。
COVID-19 病毒的爆发预计将加速声光设备的部署,因为它增加了人们对国际供应链的担忧。儘管疫情造成供应链中断,但对声光设备的采用产生了积极影响,因为这些设备通常用于应对各种业务。
预计锗市场在预测期内将是最大的市场。锗用于在电磁波谱红外线区域工作的雷射。这对于雷射波长位于红外线区域的用途非常有用。它们在很宽的温度范围内表现出稳定性,这对于在不同环境下保持一致的性能至关重要。
由于石油、天然气探勘中昂贵的雷射钻孔技术的使用不断增加,预计雷射雕刻领域在预测期内将出现最高的年复合成长率。雷射可用于需要在硬质材料上进行深度雕刻或烙印的用途,因为它们的高能量脉衝可以深度穿透材料。此外,医疗领域的技术突破增加了对手术雷射的需求,手术雷射使用雷射来减少切口和减轻疼痛。
预计北美在预测期内将占据最大的市场占有率。人口的快速成长、都市化进程的加速、对光学技术的大量投资、研发力度的加大以及雷射应用重点的转变,特别是在工业和通讯领域,是推动这些地区市场成长的主要要素。开发中国家的医疗保健系统对雷射治疗的需求正在增加。
由于工业化程度不断提高以及开发中国家采用光学技术来提供精确的解决方案,预计亚太地区在预测期内将保持最高的年复合成长率。由于LASIK手术、除毛、纹身移除和其他基于雷射的医疗保健应用的需求增加,预计对雷射设备的需求将会增加。此外,在机器人用途中,基于雷射的光纤感测系统正在获得动力,因为它们提供了控制和测量极精细运动所需的最高水平的精度和可重复性。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Acousto-Optic Q-Switch Market is growing at a CAGR of 9.21% during the forecast period. High-energy, pulsed laser beams are created using the acousto-optic Q-switching (AO Q-switching) method in laser technology. It depends on the interplay of light and sound waves within an acousto-optic crystal or other substance. In high-power and high-energy laser systems, where precise control of pulse timing and energy is essential, they are frequently utilized. They are used in a variety of industries, including laser spectroscopy, range finding, medical lasers, and laser materials processing.
According to SEMI Silicon Manufacturers Group (SMG), the global silicon wafer area shipments increased by 2.7% to 2,920 million square inches in the first quarter of 2020, compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, with shipments of 2,844 million square inches, but dropped by 4.3% year-over-year.
The capacity to produce exceptionally high peak outputs in pulsed lasers is one of the main benefits of acousto-optic Q-switching. Acousto-optic Q-switches allow for the buildup of energy over a longer time, leading to a rapid release of energy in a very short duration pulse by swiftly switching the laser from a low-intensity continuous wave (CW) mode to a high-intensity pulsed mode. This is the primary driver of market expansion.
Despite being widely used in optical networks and signal processing applications, acoustic optical devices also possess significant piezoelectric and photoelastic properties. Lithium niobate waveguides are employed because of these acoustic optical devices' high piezoelectric effect and photo-elastic characteristic; nevertheless, lithium niobate waveguide devices have a huge footprint and poor light-sound interaction as a result. This ineffective light guidance causes a drop in efficiency, which is expected to have an adverse effect on market supply.
Q-switching can improve the lasers' beam quality. Mode rivalry is reduced and a more coherent and focused laser beam is produced by allowing energy to accumulate in the laser cavity prior to emission. The laser generates less total heat in the laser medium when operating in a pulsed mode thanks to acousto-optic Q-switching than when operating in a continuous wave (CW) mode. This lessens the chance that the laser and its parts may sustain heat damage. This is having an impact on market expansion.
There are usually restrictions on the repetition rates at which acousto-optic Q-switches may function well. They might not be able to maintain effective Q-switching at very high repetition rates, which would cause the laser pulses to lose energy or become less stable. When compared to other Q-switching techniques, acousto-optic Q-switches can be rather pricey. When picking a Q-switching technology for their laser system, users should take their budget into account. These are preventing further market expansion.
The COVID-19 virus epidemic is expected to accelerate the deployment of acousto-optic devices since the corona virus pandemic has increased concerns about international supply chains. Since the pandemic caused supply chain interruptions, which these devices are commonly used to address in a variety of businesses, it has favorably affected the adoption of acousto-optic devices.
The germanium segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. Germanium used with lasers that operate in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum since it has a broad spectral range in this area. For applications where the laser wavelength is in the IR region, this is very helpful. These demonstrate stability across a wide temperature range, which is crucial for preserving consistent performance in a variety of environmental circumstances.
The laser engraving segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to rising utilization of expensive laser-drilling technique for oil & gas exploration. Lasers are useful for applications that call for deep engraving or branding on hard materials because their high-energy pulses may penetrate deeply into materials. Additionally, the demand for surgical lasers, which employ laser light to create fewer incisions and less pain, has increased as a result of the growing technical breakthroughs in the medical field.
North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. Rapid population growth, growing urbanization, significant investments in optics technology, intense R&D efforts, and a shift in the emphasis on laser applications, particularly in the industrial and telecom sectors, are the main factors driving market growth in these regions. The demand for laser-based procedures has been increasing in developing nations' healthcare systems.
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest CAGR over the forecast period due to growing industrialization and adoption of optical technologies to provide accurate solutions by developing countries. The demand for laser devices is expected to increase due to the increasing demand for LASIK surgery, hair removal, tattoo removal and other laser-based healthcare applications. Additionally, there is an increasing trend toward laser-based fiber optic sensing systems for robotics applications as these systems provide the highest level of precision and repeatability required to control and measure extremely fine movement.
