Compared with traditional oxyacetylene, plasma and other cutting processes, laser cutting has the advantages of fast cutting speed, narrow slit, small heat affected zone, good verticality of slit edge, smooth cutting edge, and many kinds of materials that can be cut by laser. Laser cutting technology has been widely used in the fields of automobiles, machinery, electricity, hardware and electrical appliances.

In most cases the emitted light from the laser is polarized. Usually linearly polarized, that is, the electric field oscillates in a specific direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the laser beam. Some lasers (eg, fiber lasers) do not produce linearly polarized light, but other stable polarization states, which can be converted to linearly polarized light using a suitable combination of waveplates. In the case of broadband radiation, and the polarization state is wavelength dependent, the above method cannot be used.

Vertical cavity surface emitting laser is a new generation of semiconductor laser that has been developing rapidly in recent years. The so-called "vertical cavity surface emission" means that the laser emission direction is perpendicular to the cleavage plane or substrate surface. Another emission method corresponding to it is called "edge emission". Traditional semiconductor lasers adopt an edge-emitting mode, that is, the laser emission direction is parallel to the substrate surface. This type of laser is called an edge-emitting laser (EEL). Compared with EEL, VCSEL has the advantages of good beam quality, single-mode output, high modulation bandwidth, long life, easy integration and testing, etc., so it has been widely used in optical communications, optical display, optical sensing and other fields.

Yorkshire water, the UK water company, and its partners have been awarded a £1.2 million government grant to kick-start research and development of UK underwater fibre optics.

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.
