Abstract: Fourier-domain mode-locked (FDML) lasers，a novel laser technology，exhibit unique time-
frequency characteristics． This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the principles，research
applications，and pedagogical implementations of FDML lasers．Specifically，through classroom instruction and
hands-on experiments，educators leverage FDML lasers as an integrated experimental platform to facilitate
students’in-depth understanding of core concepts，including mode-locking mechanisms and resonant cavity
design．The study further analyzes the technology’s advantages in fostering students’innovative thinking and
practical skills． Incorporating FDML lasers into teaching not only enhances instructional quality but also
promotes the deep integration of scientific research and pedagogy，offering novel insights for the training of
optical engineering professionals．
