No slowdown: Philips is continuing to expand VCSEL production
Philips Photonics says that the proliferation of applications for vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) in 3D and proximity sensing means it has now passed the shipment milestone of one billion such devices.

Exceptional advances in the control of material properties has been achieved, through careful manipulation of geometry on nano- and sub-nanometre length scales, in magnetoelectronics and nanomagnetism.1 Advanced techniques now allow for the creation of structures patterned on sub-micron length scales in three dimensions. New phenomena has been discovered in patterned magnets that can be strongly controlled by ion bombardment, multilayering, and lithographic patterning.
