IR lamp IR system
IR lamps vs. IR LEDs and lasers - From new light sources to new applications (2/3)
LANDSCAPE - FROM IR LAMPS TO IR LEDS AND LASERS
Traditional IR lamp systems:
• The system is designed around the lamp
• The IR system includes reflectors, power supply, ballasts, optics, electronics and housing.
• These are basic systems with little potential to add smart functions.
IR LED systems:
• The LED module can be adapted to the system.
• IR LEDs are miniaturized semiconductor devices, and can be associated with other components and data processing for advanced applications and smart functions.
IR LEDs and lasers will not replace IR lamps because there is no real replacement market.
These new light sources provide specific benefits, allowing them to target totally different applications.

Characteristics:
• In general, an iris recognition system consists of a few components:
• An illumination module containing the IR LEDs.
• A camera including the image sensor and the lens.
• An optical bandpass filter in front of the camera to increase the SNR in high brightness environments.
• A software algorithm including pattern extraction capabilities.
• Depending on the eye colour, use of different illumination is possible:
• Dark or Brown eyes: IR is the best and visible light is not suitable.
• Blue or Green eyes: IR is good but visible light is the best.
• The first developments in iris recognition systems used two IR LEDs with wavelengths of 700nm and900nm to create broadband illumination.
• The latest developments suggest using only one IR LED with a wavelength of 810nm isnecessary.
Trends:
• Development of new applications for smartphones such as mobile payments require the use ofbiometry techniques with higher reliability and accuracy than current fingerprint sensors. Inthis field, iris recognition seems to be a good solution to the performance vs. cost problem and is alreadybeing implemented by some manufacturers. However such systems might be best complemented byfacial recognition functions to ameliorate some limitations related to speed and accuracy.
• Samsung integrates these sensors into its flagship model, the Samsung Galaxy S9. Iris recognition is includedwith facial recognition.

Introduction - Status of the LED industry
IR LEDS
• Beginning the transition in 2012, most companies have now moved to the new 'El Dorado' of the LED business: general lighting,which represents the major application for LEDs. However, market overcapacity and strong price pressure at both the chip andpackage level has created a very difficult situation for all players. 2015 was the first year ever that the revenue for packagedLEDs decreased compared to the previous year.
• General lighting is no longer a ‘Blue ocean’ due to strong price pressure and intense competition.
• In this depressed environment, several players have therefore decided to develop new strategies in order to differentiatethemselves from mainstream players and reap higher margin levels through new drivers of growth:
• New package types: Chip-on-board (COB) LEDs, filament LEDs, flip chip (FC) LEDs and chip-scale package (CSP) LEDs.
• Non-visible LEDs: UV and IR LEDs.
• Niche applications:Automotive lighting and horticultural lighting among others.
• Consequently, LED players are now increasingly involved in the IR LED business. Osram remains the leader in this fieldbut companies like Everlight, Epistar and others have also made strong investments recently in order to catch up and benefit from thisopportunity.At the regional level, Taiwan is leading the IR LED market.
New development and growth drivers are required for LED players to survive.
In this field, IR LEDs represent a strong axis of investment and development. LED roadmap - Towards

Key challenges
VCSELS
VCSEL is not a new technology but there are still challenges related to manufacturing and to 3D sensing applications.
Challenge R&D area
Thermal management • XX
Cost• Cost of VCSELs is low for small dies with low power but increases rapidly for larger dies used in
3D sensing applications for smartphone or automotive environments.
Material
• VCSELs are mainly manufactured using XX material and emit at wavelengths from XX to XXnm.
• To emit at a longer wavelength i.e.XX or XXnm in the IR range, materials like XX must be
used. Manufacturing is therefore much more complicated to handle.
Manufacturing
• VCSELs are manufactured using MOCVD for epitaxial growth and uniformity is a real challenge as
it will determine the total manufacturing yield.
• Other process steps like mesa etching and oxidation are critical.
Performance • XX

Initially developed for optical communication applications, LED and LD are now integrated into high-value functions for datacom/telecom, consumer, automotive, and industrial applications.
These technologies are part of a new revolution, with each one finding its own path:• Initially focused on low-end applications (photo-
interrupters, remote controls, etc.), IR LEDs are now increasingly implemented into smartphones for proximity sensing; automotive for gesture recognition; and VR/AR headsets for eye-tracking.
• For edge-emitting lasers (EEL), the market has historically been driven by optical communication applications. This is likely to continue, given the always-increasing amount of data exchanged with optical fiber networks. However, in the mid-term the technology may also find strong growth relays in new applications, i.e. LiDAR.
• Today, vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL) might be the fastest-growing technology. Having originally found its sweet spot in short-distance data communication, Apple’s 2017 release of the iPhone X (which has a 3D sensing function based on VCSEL technology) has completely changed the business landscape.
All of these infrared SSL sources have different semiconductor structures (i.e. epitaxy, front-end, back-end), emit at different wavelengths/power outputs, and provide different light-emission profiles/shapes, thus creating a large variety of possible specifications - and so too applications. With increasing interest from the automotive and consumer industries in photonic technologies, IR lighting has a bright future ahead.
This report offers an in-depth analysis of all IR light-source technologies and applications, including: basic principles, trends, key players, and market size. It highlights the global landscape for IR light sources, including classification of applications by wavelength, market segment, and function. Specific focus is also given to automotive, smartphone, and datacom applications.

IR LEDS AND LASER DIODES – TECHNOLOGY, APPLICATIONS, AND INDUSTRY TRENDS
More than 40 different applications have been identified as integrating IR SSL sources. Among these, some are expected to make the IR LED and LD markets boom in the next five years.
Optical communication, one of the oldest applications driving the IR light-source market, is still expected to be one of the major drivers in the coming years. Indeed, the amount of data exchanged on the internet is exploding, and will continue to do so with
the emergence of the internet of things (IoT), cloud-based services, autonomous cars, and more.
Driven by additive manufacturing, industrial applications are also expected to generate high revenue in the coming years. Traditional IR light sources that emit light in all directions and consume large amounts of energy are starting to be replaced by VCSEL that can be individually controlled, resulting in lower energy consumption.
Finally, 3D sensing is expected to be the killer application for IR light sources. VCSEL’s integration in the iPhone X for facial recognition has generated much interest in 3D sensing, and after Apple some key Android-based smartphone manufacturers are starting to release new products integrating this technology. However, 3D sensing is not limited to smartphones. It also has potential for automotive LiDAR, which is necessary for the development of ADAS. Not surprisingly, many start-ups in this field have entered the market in order to develop this technology and join the coming revolution.
As a result, the IR light source market is estimated to reach $1.8B in 2018, increasing to $6.5B in 2023 at a CAGR2018-2023 of 29%.
This report presents detailed market forecasts in volume and revenue, by application and by light source technology (LED vs. EEL vs. VCSEL).
IR light source market forecast - by key segment
(Yole Développement, October 2018)
Fueled by visible lighting applications, today’s LED industry is quite mature. Almost all players are vertically integrated, from epitaxy to packaging. In this industry, more than 40 IR LED suppliers are confirmed, with the majority coming from Asia. The manufacturing process is well controlled and there are few remaining challenges, except for high-power and long-/multi- wavelength IR LED devices.
The landscape is quite different for EEL and VCSEL, where most of the identified players hail from the
U.S. and Europe. The manufacturing process is much more complex and there is still a need for R&D and engineering to increase device performance and production yields. As a result, there are a variety of players with different positioning along the supply chain: epihouses, foundries, IDMs, fabless players, and more.
In this context, and since EEL and VCSEL will drive the bulk of future IR lighting revenue, there is still a large business opportunity for specialized players
