Global Solid-state Lasers for Data Storage Market 2015-2019

About Solid-state Lasers
A laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) is a device that produces 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 that use solids (that contains glasses or crystals doped with rare earth elements) as a gain medium are referred to solid-state lasers.
Lasers play a critical role in the expansion of memory capacity of data storage. Currently, many 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 the memory capacity.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Solid-state Lasers for Data Storage market to grow at a CAGR of 4.78 percent over the period 2014-2019.
