摘要：
This paper reviews studies of the possibility of controlling the output spectrum of Qswitched fiber lasers. Various laser configurations for producing output radiation with characteristics optimized for specific applications, such as high-power pulses for micromachining of materials, probe pulses in fiber-optic sensor systems, etc., are considered. The mechanism of broadening of the lasing line is elucidated, and methods for controlling the output spectrum in Q-switched all-fiber lasers are described. Frequency tuning in the amplification line and generation of higher harmonics in nonlinear crystals are considered. © 2013 Allerton Press, Inc.
