摘要
We have demonstrated an actively Q-switched tapered double-clad fiber laser capable of single-shot generation of 1.6-mJ, 64-ns pulses. The active medium based on tapered double-clad fiber is shown to exhibit a reduced level of amplified spontaneous emission which allows for high-energy pulse extraction at extremely low repetition rates.
