InPHRED Announces World's First Commercial SWIR VCSEL
The first SWIR VCSEL sensor (the SA-series) is currently available at 1,380nm (custom wavelengths between 1,300nm and 2,200nm available upon request), with mW operating power and peak conversion efficiency (PCE) over 27%.
"Achieving this level of power efficiency is a game-changer," said Jacob Tarn , CEO of InPHRED. "Our SWIR VCSELs are now ready to enable advancements in applications that require high precision and reliability, at commercial scale, and meeting industrial and environmental qualifications."
For the past 30 years, the semiconductor industry has sought an affordable and manufacturable SWIR VCSEL to enable high-speed, high-resolution imaging and sensing in the eye-safe, high-resolution, and biologically-sensitive SWIR emission range. However, previous technologies have faced limitations of achievable power efficiency and commercial scalability.
By developing a simple, scalable manufacturing process for InP VCSELs emitting between 1,300-2,200 nm wavelengths, InPHRED is poised to lead the market in delivering high-performance, commercially-viable SWIR VCSELs. This breakthrough addresses the critical needs of automotive, biomedical, industrial, defense, and data communications applications, where robust, high-precision sensing capabilities are essential.
InPHRED's sensor combines the high imaging clarity and resolution of SWIR wavelengths with the superior efficiency, modulation speed, and manufacturability (yield, cost, scale, integration) of VCSELs.
InPHRED commercializes next-generation semiconductor solutions based on Yale University technology, and the SWIR VCSEL joins their existing product portfolio, which also includes blue (470-490nm) and green (550nm) Resonant Cavity Light-Emitting Diodes (RC-LEDs).
Representatives will be attending the SPIE Photonics West exhibition ( January 27-30, 2025 ) in San Francisco , USA , at the Moscone Convention Center. To schedule a meeting, or for all other business or product inquiries, please contact info@inphred.com.
