Global Semiconductor Laser Diodes Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032

The global Semiconductor Laser Diodes market size is expected to reach $ 5238 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 6.7% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

This report studies the Semiconductor Laser market. A semiconductor laser (LD) is a device that causes laser oscillation by flowing an electric current to semiconductor. The mechanism of light emission is the same as a light-emitting diode (LED). Light is generated by flowing the forward current to a p-n junction. In forward bias operation, the p-type layer is connected with the positive terminal and the n-type layer is connected with the negative terminal, electrons enter from the n-type layer and holes from the p-type layer. When the two meet at the junction, an electron drops into a hole and light is emitted at the time.

The basic structure of a semiconductor laser is shown in Figure below. The active layer (light emission layer) sandwiched between the p- and n-type clad layers (double heterostructure) is formed on an n-type substrate, and voltage is applied across the p-n junction from the electrodes. Both edges of the active layer has mirror-like surface. When forward voltage is applied, electrons combine with holes at the p-n junction, and emitt the light. This light is not a laser yet; it is confined within the active layer because the refractive index of the clad layers are lower than that of the active layer. In addition, both ends of the active layer act as a reflecting mirror where the light reciprocates in the active layer. Then, the light is amplified by the stimulated emission process and laser oscillation is generated.
