DWDM: Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing is the ability to combine a group of optical wavelengths and use a single optical fiber for transmission. This is a laser technology used to increase bandwidth on existing fiber optic backbone networks. More precisely, the technology is to multiplex the tight spectral spacing of a single fiber carrier in a specified fiber in order to utilize the achievable transmission performance (for example, to achieve the minimum degree of dispersion or attenuation). In this way, under a given information transmission capacity, the total number of optical fibers required can be reduced.

Fiber optic gyroscope is the fiber angular velocity sensor, which is the most promising one among various fiber optic sensors. The fiber optic gyroscope, like the ring laser gyroscope, has the advantages of no mechanical moving parts, no warm-up time, insensitive acceleration, wide dynamic range, digital output, and small size. In addition, the fiber optic gyroscope also overcomes the fatal shortcomings of ring laser gyroscopes such as high cost and blocking phenomenon. Therefore, fiber optic gyroscopes are valued by many countries. Low-precision civilian fiber optic gyroscopes have been produced in small batches in Western Europe. It is estimated that in 1994, the sales of fiber optic gyroscopes in the American gyroscope market will reach 49%, and the cable gyroscope will take the second place (accounting for 35% of sales).

Compared with traditional technologies, the advantages of fiber lasers in beam quality, depth of focus and dynamic parameter adjustment performance have been fully recognized. Coupled with the advantages of electro-optical conversion efficiency, process versatility, reliability and cost, the application level of fiber lasers in medical device manufacturing (especially in fine cutting and micro welding) has been continuously improved.

The semiconductor laser amplifier is small in size, wide in frequency band, and high in gain, but the biggest weakness is that the coupling loss with the optical fiber is too large, and it is easily affected by the ambient temperature, so its stability is poor. Semiconductor optical amplifiers are easy to integrate and are suitable for use in combination with optical integration and optoelectronic integrated circuits.
