Stretched-pulse operation of a thulium-doped fiber laser

Opt Express. 2008 Dec 8;16(25):20471-6. doi: 10.1364/oe.16.020471.

Abstract

We report on stretched-pulse operation of a thulium-doped fiber laser. The laser generated pulses at a center wavelength of 1974 nm with an energy of 4 nJ that could externally be compressed to a duration of 173 fs.
