Abstract
Multi-wavelength laser systems have broad application prospects in industrial, medical, and communication fields. This paper introduces the fundamental principles of multi-wavelength laser systems and analyzes their optical design processes, including wavelength selection and optimization, and the design and selection of optical components. First, the working mechanism of multi-wavelength laser systems is discussed, explaining the principles of laser generation and transmission. Next, the basic requirements for optical design are described, and the optimal wavelength combinations are determined through mathematical models and optimization algorithms, selecting appropriate optical components to ensure efficiency and stability. Finally, design results and application analyses demonstrate the performance and advantages of multi-wavelength laser systems in practical operations, particularly in their application in autonomous driving LiDAR systems.
