Overview

The global tunable laser market is expected to reach USD 1,353.5 million by 2026 at a CAGR of 8.19% during the forecast period. Market Research Future (MRFR), in its report envelops segmentation and drivers to provide a better glimpse of the market in the coming years. Tunable lasers are specialized lasers that provide output wavelength, which can be tuned to the desired frequency for specialized applications. Tunable lasers enable the alteration of frequency in the desired range with its ability to switch the frequency based on the packets. These lasers mostly operate in a continuous mode allowing a small emission bandwidth. Some of these lasers are mode-hop-free over some specific range of frequencies. The major applications of tunable lasers revolve around spectroscopy, metrology, laser cooling, and optical fiber communication. The tunable lasers lie around the L-band, O-band, C-band, E-band, S-band, U-band, and ultranarrow linewidth.
