2023年全球固體雷射器IMARC Group規模達23億美元。對脈衝雷射的需求不斷成長,以及牙科、外科手術和各種皮膚再生療法領域的廣泛產品使用,是推動市場發展的一些關鍵因素。

固態雷射(SSL)代表一類在各種固態增益介質上產生的主動雷射器,例如摻雜稀有金屬和過渡金屬離子的晶體和玻璃材料。它依靠石榴石、鋁酸鹽、金屬氧化物、氟化物、鎢酸鹽和鉬酸鹽作為標準晶體材料,作為產生雷射的良好主體。 SSL 由光學和電子產品組成,包括內部控制和電源解決方案,這兩個主要組件整合到一個盒子中以形成產品。與氣體雷射相比,SSL 即使在使用小型諧振器時也能提供出色的單位體積雷射輸出。除此之外,它還經濟且具有高光束品質、振幅穩定性、更好的峰值功率、無與倫比的效率、減少了活性介質中材料浪費的機會,以及近乎衍射極限的光束發散。因此,SSL 在內視鏡檢查、目標系統、金屬鑽孔和環境儀器測量中得到了廣泛的應用。

SSL 在醫療保健領域的廣泛採用可歸因於對脈衝雷射的需求不斷成長以及牙科、外科手術和各種皮膚再生療法領域的廣泛產品使用。這是推動市場成長的關鍵因素之一。這種雷射解決方案因其多種優點而進一步用於黃褐斑治療、疤痕去除和眼科手術,例如提高便利性、降低非接觸鏡風險以及永久改善視力。此外,汽車和航空航太工業的顯著擴張以及對焊接技術不斷成長的需求鼓勵製造商採用固態雷射器透過光束連接多個金屬零件,這是另一個成長誘導因素。與此一致的是,破壞性雷射武器系統中廣泛使用產品來禁用競爭對手的安全系統並固定目標正在推動市場成長。此外,雷射印表機或投影機、光傳輸系統和核融合應用中紅綠藍 (RG​​B) 光源中越來越多的 SSL 融入正在支持市場成長。其他因素,例如蝕刻、檢查、鑽孔和切割等材料處理作業中不斷成長的 SSL 需求,以及旨在提高產品功效的持續研發 (R&D) 活動,正在為全球市場創造積極的前景。

The global solid-state laser market size reached US$ 2.3 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 4.4 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.16% during 2024-2032. The increasing demand for pulsed lasers and the extensive product usage in the field of dentistry, surgical procedures, and diverse skin rejuvenation therapies represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Solid-state laser (SSL) represents a class of active laser that is created on various solid-state-gain mediums, such as crystalline and glass materials doped with rare and transition metal ions. It relies on garnets, aluminates, metal oxides, fluorides, tungstate, and molybdates as standard crystalline materials that act as a good host for producing laser light. SSL comprises optics and electronic items, including internal controls and power supply solutions, as two major components that are integrated into one box for product formation. As compared to gas laser light, SSL provides superior laser output per unit volume even while using a small resonator. Apart from this, it is economical and offers high beam quality, amplitude stability, better peak power, unparalleled efficiency, reduced chance of material in active medium going waste, and nearly diffraction-limited beam divergence. Consequently, SSL finds extensive applications in endoscopy, target destination systems, metal drilling, and environmental instrumentation measurements.

The widespread adoption of SSL across the healthcare sector can be attributed to the increasing demand for pulsed lasers and the extensive product usage in the field of dentistry, surgical procedures, and diverse skin rejuvenation therapies. This represents one of the key factors driving the market growth. Such laser solutions are further utilized in melasma treatment, scar removal, and eye surgeries owing to their multiple benefits, such as enhanced convenience, reduced non-contact lens risks, and permanently improved vision. Moreover, the significant expansion in the automotive and aerospace industries and the escalating need for welding technologies have encouraged manufacturers to employ a solid-state laser to join multiple metal pieces through a beam, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. In line with this, the extensive product utilization in destructive laser weapon systems for disabling rivals' security systems and immobilizing the target is propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the growing SSL incorporation in red-green-blue (RGB) light sources in laser printers or projectors, optical transmission systems, and nuclear-fusion applications are supporting the market growth. Other factors, such as the escalating SSL demand in material handling operations, including etching, checking, drilling, and cutting, and ongoing research and development (R&D) activities to enhance product efficacy, are creating a positive outlook for the market across the globe.
