摘要：

A diode-pumped, actively Q-switched 2.8 mu m fiber laser oscillator with an average output power of more than 12W has been realized through the use of a 35 mu m core erbium-doped ZBLAN fiber and an acousto-optic modulator; to our knowledge, this is the first 3 mu m pulsed fiber laser in the 10W class. Pulse energy up to 100 mu J and pulse duration down to 90 ns, corresponding to a peak power of 0.9 kW, were achieved at a repetition rate of 120 kHz. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
