About Lasers
Lasers (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) are devices that produce a concentrated beam of coherent monochromatic electromagnetic radiation by stimulated emission of photons from excited molecules. These devices are widely used in applications such as communications, material processing, excimer lithography, data storage, medical and aesthetic, scientific and military, and instrumentation and sensors. Lasers are used for drilling, cutting, alignment, bloodless surgery, cosmetic dentistry and reading bar codes. Lasers are categorized into two types: Diode and Non-diode Lasers.
Lasers play a critical role in the expansion of the memory capacity in data storage. Currently, numerous optical disc systems are equipped with 780 nm laser diodes, which are compact, reliable and inexpensive. However, because of the spot size, these laser diodes limit memory capacity.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Lasers for Data Storage market to grow at a CAGR of 9.64 percent over the period 2014-2019.
