What Does HCSEL Stand For?

HCSEL stands for Horizontal Cavity Surface Emitting Laser

HCSEL, or Horizontal Cavity Surface Emitting Laser, is a type of semiconductor laser that emits light in a direction parallel to the surface of the semiconductor chip. This technology is characterized by its compact design, efficient performance, and ability to deliver low beam divergence and high output power. HCSELs are commonly used in applications such as optical communications, laser printing, and various sensing technologies due to their favorable modulation bandwidth and integration capabilities.
