In 2024, by introducing the notion of the augment code, Heng et al.[30] constructed several classes of few-weight self-orthogonal codes basing on defining sets, which are introduced by Ding et al.[10] in 2007 . In this manuscript, for two classes of defining sets, we consider the corresponding augmented codes, construct a class of projective four-weight self-orthogonal codes and three classes of four-weight self-orthogonal codes. And for two classes of these four-weight self-orthogonal linear codes, we determine the parameters of their dual codes. As applications, we construct two classes of LCD codes and a class of quantum codes. In particular, we prove that there exists a class of these LCD codes whose dual codes are almost optimal LCD codes according to the sphere packing bound, and a class of quantum codes are AMDS according to the quantum Singleton bound.  \nIndex Terms  \nFew-weight code; Weight distribution; Self-orthogonal code; LCD code; Quantum code.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nLet Fpm be the finite field with pm elements, where p is a prime and m is a positive integer. An [n, k, d] linear code C over Fpm is a k-dimensional linear subspace of Fnpm with minimum (Hamming) distance d. The weight wt(c) of a codeword c ∈ Cis the number of nonzero coordinates in c. Let Ai be the number of codewords c ∈ C with weight i. Then (1, A1 , ··· , An) is called the weight distribution of C and the polynomial 1 + A 1 z + ··· + Anzn is called the weight enumerator of C. If \\#{i : Ai  0 , 1 ≤ i ≤ n} = t, then C is t-weight. If the Hamming weight of each codeword in C is divisible by p, then C isp-divisible. The dual code C ⊥ of C is defined by C ⊥ = 􀀈x ∈ Fnpm : x · c = 0 for all c ∈ C􀀉 . If the dual code of C has the minimal distance d⊥ ≥ 3 , then C is a projective code. If C ⊆ C ⊥ , then C is self-orthogonal; and if C ∩ C ⊥ = {0} , then C is alinear complementary dual code(LCD code, for short) .  \nIt is well-known that any linear code over Fpm has three fundamental parameters: the length n, the dimension k and the minimum Hamming distance d. A central goal in error-correcting code theory is to construct codes with good performance, i.e., simultaneously large n, k, d. Nevertheless, classical coding bounds show that these parameters cannot be maximized simultaneously, which introduces three separate definitions of optimality as follows: for any given [n, k, d]pm linear code C , if there is no [n − 1, k, d]pm linear code, then C is length-optimal; if there is no [n, k + 1, d]pm linear code, then C is dimension-optimal; if there is no [n, k, d + 1]pm linear code, then C is distance-optimal. In 2025, Chen et al.[50], defined the distance-almost optimal [n, k, d]pm linear code. Similarly, the dimension-almost optimal also can be defined, i.e., for any given [n, k, d]pm linear code C , if there exists an [n, k + 1, d]pm linear code, but there is no [n, k + 2, d]pm code, then C is dimension-almost optimal. So far, there are a lot of works on constructing optimal linear codes [24, 32, 47, 50] .  \nSince self-orthogonal codes and few-weight codes play significant roles in coding theory and cryptography, they have been received considerable attention[3, 6, 11, 12, 14–16, 24, 29, 30, 32, 36, 47, 55–57] . Especially, in 2007, Ding et al. [9] introduced a new way to construct linear codes. Let D = {d1 , d2 , ··· , dn } ⊆ Fpm and defined  \nCD = {(Tr(bd1 ) , Tr(bd2 ) , ··· , Tr(bdn )) : b ∈ Fpm } ,  \nwhere Tr is the trace function from Fpm to Fp. And D is called the defining set of CD .
