PR94692
HSINCHU, Mar. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire =KYODO JBN / --
Announcing world's 1st ultra-sensitive CMOS-based NIR/SWIR sensing platform to
advance versatile applications development in wearables for digital health
- Artilux present the industry-leading CMOS-based SWIR sensing module featuring
GeSi technology with compact form factor and ultra-low power
- The new all-in-one sensing platform satisfies immediate market needs for
solutions covering versatile event, vital sign monitoring & skin detection for
true wireless stereo (TWS) and wearable devices
- Demonstration aims to accelerate the ecosystem growth through cost-effective
and multi-spectral optical sensing solutions for digital health applications
Artilux, the leader in CMOS-based SWIR optical sensing technology, demonstrated
a multi-spectral optical sensing module equipped with NIR/SWIR vertical-cavity
surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays, light emitting diodes (LED), and
CMOS-based GeSi (Germanium-Silicon) sensors. This compact optical sensing
module is the industry-leading solution targeted to embrace the rapidly growing
TWS and wearables markets in addition to unlock diversified scenarios in
digital health.
In light of the increasingly popular wide spectrum (NIR/SWIR) optical sensing
applications starting from vital sign monitoring in smartwatches to skin
detection in TWS earbuds, cost-effective and energy-efficient optical
components including LED, VCSEL, Edge-emitting Lasers, and SWIR sensors have
become the crucial factors to meet such rising user demands. The widely
discussed skin detection function in TWS earbuds requires SWIR sensors to
perform precise in-ear detection and to deliver seamless listening experiences,
while at the same time sustaining long battery life. Such product requires
stable wavelength, lower power-consumption, lower cost, smaller size with
higher sensitivity. The announced demonstration aims to achieve a compact and
cost-effective multi-spectral optical sensing solution, by incorporating
Artilux's CMOS-based ultra-sensitive SWIR GeSi sensors with the capability to
integrate AFE (analog front end) and digital function into a single chip,
together with high-performance VCSEL arrays at 940nm and 1380nm supplied by
Lumentum.
"We are pleased to work with Lumentum on this demonstration for the
multi-spectral optical sensing industry," said Elvis Lin, General Manager of
Business Operation and Product at Artilux. "Through continuous technology
innovations, a variety of wide spectrum NIR/SWIR applications are being adopted
into the mainstream consumer product. To address this rapidly growing market,
we have launched the Artilux Aware Series as the best cost-competitive SWIR
optical sensing platform, which will complement nicely with both VCSEL and LED
to enable in-ear and skin detection for TWS and wearables. We are looking
forward to serving this booming SWIR market in the near future."
"We are excited to work with customers like Artilux to expand the use of VCSEL
technology," commented David Cheskis, Lumentum Director of Product Line
Management, 3D Sensing. "Since developing the first high-volume VCSEL array
manufacturing capabilities for NIR 3D Sensing applications, we continue to
innovate next-generation technologies and solutions for emerging consumer
applications. Our 1380nm VCSEL demonstration is a key milestone as the SWIR
market evolves with new sensor technologies."
Through the popularity in the demand of TWS earbuds and smartwatches, hearables
and wearables are expected to become more human-centric, with more built-in
non-invasive biosensing functions in the future. Consequently, SWIR sensing
offers optical characteristics, including diversified biometric detection,
materials identification, better eye-safety compliance, low interference, and
more, is poised to play the key role in the differentiations of hearables and
wearables on the markets. Driven by the technological innovations and deep
market understanding, Artilux is expanding the ecosystem, by delivering compact
and cost-effective CMOS based SWIR sensing solutions from 850nm to 1550nm,
working with LED, VCSEL and EEL components to improve multiple legacy and offer
new features including heart rate, blood oxygen measurement, hearing and sleep
aid, blood lipid, and even blood alcohol and glucose levels monitoring in the
future, empowering an ever-prospering ecosystem of multi-spectral sensing and
imaging for consumer and digital health markets.
