摘要：
An Er3+ -doped ZBLAN fiber amplifier for Q-switched pulses at 2.79 mu m is reported. Over 24 mu J of pulse energy at an average output power of 1.0 W was achieved at a maximum available pump power of 9.4 W. The efficiency of this pulsed laser fiber amplifier is about 10%. Our simulation predicts that over 300-mu J pulses can be achieved with this fiber amplifier when a 120-W pump is used.
