Cascade-Gain-Switching for Generating 3.5-<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu$</tex-math> </inline-formula>m Nanosecond Pulses From Monolithic Fiber Lasers

We propose a novel laser configuration that can output 3.5-&#x03BC;m nanosecond laser pulses based on a simple and monolithic fiber structure. Cascade-gain-switching (CGS) converts the wavelength of nanosecond pulses from 1.55 to 3.5 &#x03BC;m by two successive gain-switching processes. CGS...
