Q-switched Er3+/Dy3+ codoped ZrF4 fiber laser: continuously tunable pulse generation from 3.06 to 3.62 μm

In this Letter, we report on widely tunable pulse generation from a red-diode-clad-pumped mid-infrared (mid-IR) Er3+=Dy3+ codoped ZrF4 fiber laser, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. Using a Fe2+:ZnSe crystal, continuously tunable Qswitched pulses across the range of 3.06-3.62 μm have...
