Assessment of VCSEL Semiconductor Technology for Serial Usage in the Automobile (Technology Assessment)

Content:

• Benchmarking of VCSEL components from three different manufacturers
• Definition of the mission profile, based on specific conditions in the intended vehicle installation section
• Consideration of environmental conditions in the automotive field, e.g. temperature, operation duration, voltage, stress, etc.
• Coordinated planning of the measures required for validation, in cooperation with the manufacturers of the VCSEL components
• Investigation and evaluation of the reliability data, as it relates to deterioration failures and failure mechanisms within the defined life span
• Comparison of the ascertained data versus the reliability requirements of the automotive industry.
