I can't see if this has been asked or answered before, but can you add a weapon fusion to your optical laser? The argument in favor seems obvious. The argument against is that it's a cybernetic type of equipment and not a weapon, even though it "functions" like a weapon.
This system replaces one of your eyes with a compact laser weapon that functions as a small arm with the integrated weapon special property and deals damage based on its model. An optical laser has a 50-foot range increment, and it can’t be disarmed. Once you’ve used the optical laser for a single attack, its tiny battery is depleted; you can’t use it again until you’ve rested for 10 minutes to regain Stamina Points, though you can spend 1 Resolve Point at any point to recharge it immediately.
If you had a small arm with the integrated weapon special property, and you were inserting it into a weaponized prosthesis, I think it's unambiguous that you could put a weapon fusion on it. But this is just different enough that I'm not sure.
I see a similar thread asking this about venom spur. It seems not entirely resolved on that thread, but I feel that the "functions as a small arm" part of the optic laser description might result in a slightly different answer.
I think I'd have to say no based on pure RAW, and I'm reluctant to allow it anyway based on the issue of item level. I know what item level the implant is, but I feel like the equivalent item level of the weapon per se should be lower, as some of that item level is presumably tied up in supporting infrastructure.
I also want to say no because you're really punishing players if you let them waste their money improving or incentivizing such a terrible weapon. But if you don't mind letting your players weaken themselves, it's a completely harmless houserule.

It's a small arm with the intergrated laser property and it has an item level listed so you know how much the fusions costs... seems to be good.

I'm undecided on yes or no. I'm leaning towards no, but the bombarding and spell throwing fusions exist.
Who doesn't want to stick grenades in their eyes so they can be used for free later?

Affix weapon seals designed like rings directly over your iris.
