Experimental Investigation of Actively Q-Switched Er<sup>3+</sup>:ZBLAN Fiber Laser Operating at around 2.8 µm

A diode-pumped Q-switched Er<sup>3+</sup>:ZBLAN double-clad, single-transverse mode fiber laser is practically realized. The Q-switched laser characteristics as a function of pump power, repetition rate, and fiber length are experimentally investigated. The results obtained show that the...
