Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a low-loss, high-resolution, non-invasive medical and imaging technology developed in the early 1990s. Its principle is similar to ultrasound imaging, the difference is that it uses light instead of sound.

Compared with discrete optical fiber amplification technology, Distributed Raman Amplification (DRA) technology has shown obvious advantages in many aspects such as noise figure, nonlinear damage, gain bandwidth, etc., and has gained advantages in the field of optical fiber communication and sensing. widely used. High-order DRA can make the gain deep into the link to achieve quasi-lossless optical transmission (that is, the best balance of optical signal-to-noise ratio and nonlinear damage), and significantly improve the overall balance of optical fiber transmission/sensing. Compared with conventional high-end DRA, DRA based on ultra-long fiber laser simplifies the system structure, and has the advantage of gain clamp production, showing strong application potential. However, this amplification method still faces bottlenecks that restrict its application to long-distance optical fiber transmission/sensing

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.
