The Global PPLN Waveguide Chips Market Is Expected to grow from USD 345.9 million in 2022 to USD 1080.4 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.3% during the forecast period.
Periodically Poled Lithium Niobate (PPLN) is a highly effective material for nonlinear wavelength conversion techniques, particularly in the form of waveguide chips. These chips utilize a waveguide structure to focus interacting light in a condensed region, resulting in high conversion efficiency even with low input power. PPLN waveguide chips have superior conversion efficiency, making them suitable for applications requiring very low power levels, such as single photon conversion. Two types of waveguide chips are available: Proton in-diffused (RPE) Waveguides, advantageous for long crystals and low losses, and ridge waveguides, catering to various application needs with good confinement, low losses, and a high damage threshold.
