摘要
A Tm:germanate fiber laser produced > 0.25 mJ/ pulse in a 45 ns pulse. It is capable of producing multiple Q-switched pulses from a single pump pulse. With the addition of a diffraction grating, Tm:germanate fiber lasers produced a wide, but length dependent, tuning range. By selecting the fiber length, the tuning range extends from 1.88 to 2.04 mu m. These traits make Tm:germanate lasers suitable for remote sensing of water vapor.
