Global Non Linear Optical Materials and Applications Market by Type (Lithium-Niobate, Potassium Titanyl Phosphate, ß-Barium Borate, Lithium Triborate), By Application (OEMs, Aftermarket) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

The global non-linear optical materials and applications market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period, 2018-2028. The growth in this market can be attributed to an increase in demand for semiconductor devices across various industries such as aerospace & defense, automotive industry, healthcare, etc., which are used for sensing motion within these sectors. In addition, the growing need to improve efficiency by reducing power consumption and increasing bandwidth has led manufacturers to continue to design products with higher performance specifications that require advanced optical components like nonlinear optics (NLO).

Non-linear optical materials and applications are a wide category of components that can be used for sensing motion within various industries such as aerospace & defense, the automotive industry, healthcare. These non-linear optics (NLO) include lithium niobate, potassium titanyl phosphate, ß-barium borate, and lithium triborate.

Non-linear optical materials are substances that exhibit non-radiative transitions in material and can be used for various applications. Non-linear optics (NLO) is the branch of electromagnetism that deals with light waves whose amplitudes vary as they propagate.

On the basis of type, the global non-linear optical materials and applications market is segmented into lithium-niobate, potassium titanyl phosphate, ß-barium borate, and lithium triborate.

Lithium-Niobate

Lithium-niobate or LiNbO Ãż is a nonlinear optical (NLO) material that has been used for various applications in the telecommunications and semiconductor industries. It can be found in fiber optic cables as well as other optoelectronic devices like lasers and light sources. Électrical and optical properties of LiNbO Ãż make it a suitable material for various applications.

The first major application that emerged was in fiber optic cables, where the use of lithium-niobate has been instrumental in maintaining high data rates over long distances with a low loss rate.

The main advantage of LiNbO Ãż is its transparency. It has a refractive index (n) close to that of glass, which means it can be used for windows and lenses in many applications. The material also does not absorb light so the transmission rate reaches 100%. This makes it an excellent candidate for use as both a coating on other materials or as a standalone element because there are no absorption losses due to reflection.

Potassium Titanyl Phosphate

Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTP) is an ionic crystal with a tetragonal structure. KTP has nonlinear optical properties, which are widely utilized in the manufacturing of fiber optic amplifiers and other devices that require light amplification. KTP is the most common nonlinear optical material used in commercial fiber optic systems.

KTP works by converting an input of light energy into higher frequency output with little or no distortion. This conversion process produces a series of harmonics that are generated, which almost entirely consist of wavelengths between 200 and 1300nm â€" ideal for transmitting information through glass fibers without significant loss. KTP has low losses at high power levels resulting from its high-level absorption efficiency and limiting action on adjacent active regions (or bands). The device's wide bandwidth enables it to work well over a range of distances between transmitter and receiver, even if they're not positioned symmetrically around the crystal â€" a factor that makes it advantageous for use in optical communication.

ß-Barium Borate

ß-Barium Borate crystals are also used for making fiber optic amplifiers due to their high nonlinearity index, despite having a low amplitude response as compared to lithium niobates. This is because the small wavelength of operation for ß-BBO (typically about 600nm) means that it can be used in systems with low power levels.

Lithium Triborate

Lithium Triborate is a kind of lithium niobate with the same crystal structure as Lithium Niobate. It has been developed for use in high-power lasers due to its better stability and higher damage threshold than other types of nonlinear optical materials. However, it does not have any commercial application at this time because it's available only in small quantities â€" so companies are primarily developing new applications for KTP or LiNbO² instead.

Lithium Triborate crystals have been shown to show high nonlinearity at very high wavelengths and are also suitable for use as optical amplifiers due to their wide bandwidth, even when constructed from a single crystal. Lithium triborate materials are typically not used for telecommunications purposes but rather as an amplifier or driver material for lasers operating between 1000-1600 nm such as CO laser sources which cannot operate efficiently on other types of crystals.

On the basis of application, the global non-linear optical materials and applications market is segmented into OEMs and aftermarket.

OEMs

The OEMs market is the initial stage of non-linear optical materials. This segment involves one company supplying raw material to another, who then processes and packages it into a finished product before stocking or distributing it. The demand for these types of materials in this sector has been increasing steadily over the past few years due mainly to their usage in telecom equipment manufacturing and also because they are becoming more affordable as manufacturers adopt new technologies such as Fused Silica (SiO).

Aftermarket

Non-linear optical materials are used in the aftermarket for a variety of applications. These include ß-Barium Borate that is used to manufacture laser safety glasses, lithium triborate which can be found on credit card holograms, potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) that is applied during manufacturing windows and solar panels.

On the basis of region, the global non-linear optical materials and applications market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.

North America is expected to lead the non-linear optical materials and applications market in terms of revenue share. The region has higher adoption for high technology products such as MEMS, LEDs, microsensors, etc. In addition to that manufacturers are also investing heavily in research & development activities with respect to developing new technologies within this region which would fuel the growth of the North American Non-Linear Optical Materials and Applications Market during the forecast period 2016-2028.

Latin America is projected to grow at a slower pace in the coming years compared with other regions. However, this region will witness some significant growth owing to its diversified economy and developing economies such as Brazil that has been witnessing an increase in expenditure on research & development activities which are likely to fuel the demand for non-linear optical materials and applications market during the forecast period 2016-2028.

Europe's Non-Linear Optical Materials and Applications Market would also experience stable growth during 2016 - 2028 due to increased investment by regional governments into IT infrastructure including smart cities projects which drive new technologies like LED lights etc., thereby driving demand for high technology products within this region. The markets of Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa are expected to show rapid growth due to increasing demand for non-linear optical materials and applications in the emerging economies of China, India & other countries.

Growth Factors

The global non-linear optical materials and applications market is driven by the increasing demand for high-speed, cost-effective information transmission methods. The technology provides a means to store and communicate data quickly over long distances or at much higher capacities than conventional technologies such as copper wires which require large infrastructure investments. Other factors boosting this sector include the growing need for newer generation networks in various sectors including automotive systems, industrial automation, aerospace & defense industry etcetera leading to increased investment in next-generation network solutions from telecom operators around the globe. ß-Barium Borate segment acts as a major driver due to its ability to provide broadband wavelength conversion up to 400 nm with unmatched spectral purity; while the lithium triborate segment will be the fastest grower in near future owing to its high optical transmission efficiency and excellent electrical insulation properties.
