Product Definition:
Quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) is a type of infrared detector that uses quantum wells to improve the performance and efficiency of the device. QWIPs are used in a variety of applications, including night vision and thermal imaging.
Light Guide Type:
Light guide type is a technology used in QWIPs (Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector) to enhance the performance of the detector. The basic working principle of light guide type is based on total internal reflection at a right angle from the crystal face. In this process, incident infrared radiation gets reflected multiple times by different angles and eventually reaches to the photodiode located at an edge of a well.
Photovoltaic Type:
A photovoltaic type is a solar cell technology that utilizes the principle of semiconductors to convert sunlight into electrical energy. The basic structure of a photovoltaic cell consists of an n-type and p-type semiconductor, which are separated by a barrier or window. As light falls on the p-type side, it is absorbed and travels through the n type region where it is converted into electricity.
Application Insights:
The other application segment includes security, automotive and medical applications. The quantum well infrared photodetector has numerous advantages in these applications as they offer high immunity to thermal and electrical noise. Quantum wells are used in the infra-red imaging systems of military aircraft, ships and tanks for heat detection from a distance. Quantum dots have found wide application scope in medical diagnostics owing to their ability to detect cancer cells at early stages through the use of fluorescence microscopy techniques.
Quantum dots find extensive usage as light guides for QWIPs as they exhibit superior properties such as high efficiency, low operating temperature range, small size (less than 10 micron), long life expectancy (10 years or more) and good stability over temperature range 0°Cto+70°C. Furthermore, growing demand from various end-use industries including security & surveillance is expected to propel growth during the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the presence of major aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin. The U.S. military spending is anticipated to increase significantly over the coming years, which will drive demand for QWIPs in defense applications such as night vision devices and thermal imaging cameras among others.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for miniaturized and low-power infrared sensors in consumer electronics
- Growing adoption of QWIPs in military and defense applications
- Rising demand for thermal imaging systems in medical diagnostics and treatment
- Proliferation of night vision devices across different industries
- Increasing R&D investments for developing next-generation infrared detectors
