DWDM(Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing): is the ability to combine a group of optical wavelengths with 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.
As a core driving force in the field of industrial manufacturing, laser technology itself is constantly moving forward. In summary, lasers are developing in the four major directions of "faster, higher, better, and shorter".
When using laser as a carrier wave for communication or tools for processing, medical treatment, sensing, and detection, it is usually necessary to manage the polarization state of the laser. If the system needs to maintain a certain special polarization state of the laser, in the case of non-free space, the polarization-maintaining fiber or the circular-preserving fiber will be a practical solution to maintain the laser polarization state in a closed channel mode.
The 980/1550nm wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) is a key component of erbium-doped fiber lasers and amplifiers. 980/1550nm WDM is mostly made of single-mode fiber (SMF) and made by winding fusion tapering method. With the development of optical fiber communication and sensing technology and the successful development of polarization-maintaining fibers, PMF circulators and isolators, more and more systems use PMF and polarization-maintaining devices to package the polarization characteristics of the optical transmission in the subsystem.
High-power lasers operating at 1 μm wavelength, including fiber lasers, diode pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers, and direct-diode lasers, are increasingly deployed in highly automated manufacturing lines. They enable a wide range of materials processing applications such as welding, cutting, brazing, cladding, surface treating, bulk material heating, highly localized heating, and additive manufacturing. Optimal laser designs can be achieved with the proper selection of semiconductor lasers, specialized optics, and thermal-management solutions.
Optical fiber transmits signals through light guide, non-conductive, and not afraid of lightning strikes, so there is no need to use grounding protection. According to the transmission mode of light in the optical fiber, we divide it into multi-mode optical fiber and single-mode optical fiber.
