Global 6G Communications Research Report 2023: Terahertz and Optical Materials, Components 2024-2044 with Technology Roadmaps

DUBLIN, March 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "6G Communications: Terahertz and Optical Materials, Components 2024-2044 with 32 Forecast Lines, Technology Roadmaps" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This unique report identifies your huge optical material and component opportunities from 6G Communications as it becomes primarily an optical system.

This report starts with a detailed glossary and listing of 96 of the companies mentioned. The Executive Summary and Conclusions is an easy read for those in a hurry. Its 58 pages contain the necessary explanations, new infograms, opportunity identification, leading players, SOFT appraisals, roadmaps and 17 forecasts all 2023-2043. No equations. No nostalgia.

Understand why optical wireless communication must become commonplace in 6G systems and that includes overcoming the Terahertz gap of inadequate materials and device performance at far infrared (above 0.3THz). Here are the vital photovoltaic and other optical material manufacturing technologies involved with more on both later in the report.

6G will use a huge amount of fiber optics including "deep fiber" going to individual rooms in buildings and fiber underwater. Mostly that will be pre-existing shared fiber made conventionally but there are some aspects that will be peculiar to 6G so we cover fiber optics for 6G systems in the 13 pages of chapter 9 that end with a SWOT appraisal.

Having found that graphene is one of the most popular materials in the optical 6G research pipeline, we end the report with a deeper look without repetition of earlier material. Chapter 10. "Graphene and other 2D materials in 6G", in 17 pages, surfaces six potential uses in 6G with formats, alternatives, ancillary materials and analysis. The examples cover near and far infrared and visible light frequencies.

The new report answers such questions as:

• Why can the massive hardware expense of 6G only be justified by the ubiquity at stellar performance that comes from optics?
• Why will there be so many added value opportunities for your expertise in silicas, graphene, aluminas including sapphire, 3-5 compounds, silicon nitride, chalcogenides?
• What new forms with premium pricing? What else?
• What materials are trending down with the advent of 6G?
• Why does the first 6G phase from 2030 need massive amounts of fiber optics and some optical wireless communication? When?
• Why will the second 6G phase be necessary to achieve the promised ubiquitous stellar performance?
• Why will that have to be primarily with optics from 0.3THz far infrared to UV? When?
• Huge new markets for THz cable, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, long-distance optical wireless transmission hardware, photovoltaic 6G drones, deep fiber optics, optically powered and optically communicating client devices? Why? When? What else?
• Detailed 20-year forecasts, roadmaps, new infograms and SOFT appraisals?
