Laser diodes and VCELS are semiconductor lasers, the simplest form of Solid State Lasers. Laser diodes are commonly referred to as edge emitting laser diodes because the laser light is emitted from the edge of the substrate. The light emitting region of the laser diode is commonly called the emitter. The emitter size and the quantity of emitters determine output power and beam quality of a laser diode.
VCSELs (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) emit light perpendicular to the mounting surface as opposed to parallel like edge emitting laser diodes. VCSELs offer a uniform spatial illumination in a circular illumination pattern with low speckle. See our blog on VCSELs for more information.
