CST Global’s second T@CST forum examines laser arrays, LiDAR and LiFi technology

III-V optoelectronic foundry Compound Semiconductor Technologies Global Ltd (CST Global) of Glasgow, Scotland, UK says that its second T@CST forum, held near to its production facility at the University of the West of Scotland facility in Hamilton, Glasgow (16 May) and focused on the commercialization of ‘Laser arrays, LiDar and LiFi technology’ was attended by over 70 invited guests, including academics, engineers, industrialists, politicians, funding organizations and the press.

“The collective expertise of the T@CST guests helped to establish the most critical, enabling factors necessary for continued commercialization of laser arrays, LiDAR and LiFi technologies,” says CST Global’s VP sales & marketing Euan Livingston. “These constitute some of the fastest-growing technology sectors within the photonics and III-V compound semiconductor markets,” he adds. “They are driven by rapidly expanding, real-life applications in autonomous vehicles, transportation, atomic clocks, datacoms and sensing.”

Livingston introduced the event with a summary of the market and commercial opportunity presented by laser arrays, LiDAR and LiFi technologies. Senior device development engineer Dr Iain Eddie summarized each of the technologies, exploring typical applications and likely volumes. Guest speakers included Jim Haynes of Rockley Photonics (who examined production factors); Dr Alastair McInroy of Technology Scotland (who considered mobility strategies); Chris Tate of Pure LiFi (who summarized LiFi technology and its applications); Dr Ole Kock of Teledyne e2v (who looked at the commercial considerations of producing compact atomic clocks); and Mark Western of Scottish Enterprise (who covered funding in the sector).
