In September 2017, the release of iPhone X detonated the 3D sensing market, and less than a year later, Huawei (nova 3), OPPO (Find X), vivo (NEX) and Xiaomi (Xiami 8 Exploratory Edition) The top four vendors in China's Android smartphone market share have launched new smart phones equipped with 3D sensing capabilities, which are faster and more popular than previous market expectations. The core components of the 3D sensing module mainly include infrared light source, optical components and infrared sensors. Among them, the high-quality infrared light source - VCSEL (vertical cavity emitting laser pointer) is undoubtedly the key to overcome the difficulties! After the optical communication, VCSEL finally found a "killer" application - 3D sensing.
According to the latest release of "VCSEL Technology, Industry and Market Trends" report, the overall market size of VCSEL reached USD 330 million in 2017. It is expected that VCSEL shipments will increase from 652 million in 2017 to 3.3 billion in 2023. Many, the overall market size will grow to 3.5 billion US dollars by 2023, and the compound annual growth rate from 2017 to 2023 is as high as 48%.
Suzhou Changguang Huaxin Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Changguang Huaxin) is a leading supplier of high-power semiconductor laser chips and related optoelectronic devices and application systems. Chang Guanghua, Executive Deputy General Manager and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Dr. Wang Jun is an expert in the evaluation of the Ministry of Science and Technology, a special expert of the National “Thousand Talents Program”, a dual-creation talent in Jiangsu Province, and a leading talent in the “Double-Creation Team” of Jiangsu Province. Entrepreneurial innovation leading talents, leading talents in Suzhou “Major Innovation Team”. Dr. Wang Jun has nearly 20 years of semiconductor laser industry experience, leading Changguang Huaxin to gradually grow into one of the few companies in the world, the only company in China that develops and mass-produces high-power semiconductor laser chips, breaking the core semiconductor laser chips for a long time abroad. The monopoly of chip manufacturers.
Recently, Changguang Huaxin realized the localization of the first VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) production line in China. To this end, Mames Consulting interviewed Dr. Wang Jun, Executive Deputy General Manager and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Changguang Huaxin, and visited Changguang Huaxin's complete 3-inch VCSEL process line and 6-inch sample line. Fully felt the deep accumulation of the team's technology, the strong R&D atmosphere, and the strong ability to attack. With the high-efficiency control of production, the VCSEL chip product yield and performance are rapidly improved. In the third quarter, the company's 6-inch production line will be put into use, and the VCSEL chip capacity will be further improved. At the same time, the company's recent 150 million B round of financing will also help the development of VCESL business. The full line of Changguang Huaxin VCSEL process marks the successful localization of China VCSEL's first full production line. With the advantages of the complete process line, Changguang Huaxin will promote the development of innovative applications of VCSEL chips in China, as well as “3D imaging and sensing. "The further improvement of the industrial chain!
