Efficient Wavelength-Tunable Gain-Switching and Gain-Switched Mode-Locking Operation of a Heavily Er<sup>3+</sup>-Doped ZBLAN Mid-Infrared Fiber Laser

We report on an efficient wavelength-tunable gain-switched and gain-switched mode-locked Er<sup>3+</sup>-doped double-clad fiber laser with a linear cavity. Stable gain-switching and gain-switched mode-locking were achieved with slope efficiencies of 28.6% and 34.5% with respect to launc...
