What is VCSEL?

A VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) is a type of semiconductor laser diode that emits light perpendicular to the surface of the semiconductor chip, unlike traditional edge-emitting lasers which emit light from the edge. VCSELs are commonly used in optical communication, laser printers, optical mice, and facial recognition systems due to their low cost, ease of testing, and efficient coupling to optical fibers.

What other technologies are related to VCSEL?

VCSEL Competitor Technologies

LEDs are a competing technology for applications where VCSELs are used, especially in illumination and some sensing applications. Both are semiconductor light sources, but they differ in their emission characteristics and applications. LEDs are often cheaper but less focused light source compared to VCSELs
