Research announces that it has published a new study Mid IR Sensors: Market
Shares, Strategy, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2013 to 2019. Next generation Mid
IR Sensors are leveraging new technology. The 2013 study has 818 pages, 340
tables and figures. Worldwide mid IR sensor markets are poised to achieve
significant growth as the Internet of things creates demand for sensors.
Mid
IR sensors can measure chemical composition of materials and gas. The
efficiency is unmatched by any other technology, cost is increasingly
competitive. Mid IR is extending use beyond military applications to commercial
systems, including the Internet of things where sensors become part of network
systems.
Mid-IR
QCL systems have achieved price performance levels that are increasingly
attractive. Vendors bring sensing capabilities to a broad range of
applications, including: spectroscopic and bio-medical imaging; materials
characterization; standoff explosive detection; microscopy; and non-destructive
testing. Spectroscopy and imaging measurements are easier, faster and more
cost-effective leveraging advances in Mid IR sensing.
Quantum
Cascade Laser (QCL) technology is very promising. Mid-infrared sensors and
imaging applications depend on quantum cascade laser (QCL) technology. Daylight
Solutions quantum cascade laser (QCL) technology has been delivered to more
systems for more customers in more applications than all other QCL-based
solutions combined.
Advances
in QC laser technology and spectrometer hardware are combined with
spectroscopic techniques.
Intra
pulse spectroscopy and similar techniques provide a major step change in sensitivity,
speed of operation, fingerprinting capability, size and cost. They offer a
major improvement on methods of gas detection. Recent advances in spectrometer
hardware relate to QC gas sensors. Advances exploit recent technological
advances including miniaturized integrated electronic systems, plug and play
interfaces and micro optics. These will progressively replace unwieldy, fragile
and expensive instrumentation.
The
lasing wavelength for QCL's is determined by the choice of semiconductor
material. By adjusting the physical thickness of the semiconductor layers new
functionality is achieved. This removes the material barriers associated with
conventional semiconductor laser technology.
An
infrared spectroscopic laser source has no need for cryogenic cooling, provides
high output powers, has large spectral coverage, provides excellent spectral
quality, and has good tuneability.
Homeland
security, military communications, infrared countermeasures, chemical warfare
agent detection, explosives detection, medical diagnostics, imaging and
industrial process controls, fire detection and remote gas leak detection,
pollution monitoring, and real-time combustion controls are uses for the mid IR
sensors.
According
to Susan Eustis, "Taking mid-IR QCL systems to new price to performance
levels, vendors bring new capabilities to a broad range of applications.
Applications anticipated to gain market traction include: spectroscopic and
bio-medical imaging; materials characterization; standoff explosive detection; microscopy;
and non-destructive testing. Spectroscopy and imaging measurements are now
easier, faster and more cost-effective than ever before."
Mid
IR sensor markets at $789 million in 2012 are anticipated to reach $7 billion
by 2019 as price performance increases and unit costs decrease from $3,000 per
unit to $300 and even to $8 or less per unit on average drive further interest
from commercial buyers. The decrease in size of units from bench size devices
to portable units makes them more useful across the board in every industry.
