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.

The linewidth of a laser, especially a single-frequency laser, refers to the width of its spectrum (typically full width at half maximum, FWHM). More precisely, it is the width of the radiated electric field power spectral density, expressed in terms of frequency, wavenumber, or wavelength. The linewidth of a laser is closely related to temporal coherence and is characterized by coherence time and coherence length. If the phase undergoes an unbounded shift, phase noise contributes to the linewidth; this is the case with free oscillators. (Phase fluctuations confined to a very small phase interval produce zero linewidth and some noise sidebands.) Shifts in the resonant cavity length also contribute to the linewidth and make it dependent on the measurement time. This indicates that the linewidth alone, or even a desirable spectral shape (lineform), cannot provide the full information about the laser spectrum.

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.
