Dublin, June 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Military Mid IR Sensors Market Research Forecasts 2023-2029" report from Wintergreen Research, Inc has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Military mid IR markets at $34.19 billion in 2022 are anticipated to reach $130 billion by 2029 as price performance increases and unit costs decrease from $3,000 per unit to $900 per high-end unit. $100 per mid-range sensor has dropped to $20. $8 has dropped to $.6 per unit providing price points that make the sensors affordable. or less per unit on average drive further interest from commercial buyers. The decrease in the size of units from bench-size devices to portable units makes them more useful across the board in every industry.
Military medical applications include human breath monitoring, glucose sensing, cancer detection and diagnostics, eye surgery, and environmental health monitoring. Medical monitoring utilizes trace detection of benzene, toluene, or xylene. Medical applications account for a growing mid-IR laser military market. The medical area is evolving in both diagnostics and treatment. Improved diagnostics are made possible through photonic technologies. Mid IR sensors deliver a better understanding of the disease: Optical molecular imaging is anticipated to be significant.
The decrease in the size of units from bench-size devices to portable units makes them more useful across the board in every industry. Worldwide military mid IR sensor markets are poised to continue to achieve significant growth with the implementation of smartphone apps. autonomous vehicles and drones create demand for more and more sensors. Everything needs a sensor to be connected to the Internet and available to smartphone apps.
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 QCLbased 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 in 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 QCLs 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 tunability. The removal of the noise floor provides a competitive advantage because it can be implemented without the need for complex fringe removal techniques. It can be done without expensive optical isolators. The feature that allows manageable removal of the noise floor enables the laboratory performance of technology to be commercialized. Mid-IR analyzers in process control are expected to save trillions of Btus annually in the petrochemical sector. Process control and environmental monitoring potential applications are evolving for this technology.
