Compact high-energy Q-switched cladding-pumped fiber laser with a tuning range over 40nm

We describe a compact Q-switched diode pumped double-clad ytterbium-doped fiber laser. The fiber laser was bidirectionally pumped by two laser diodes (2W of output power each) via two side-injecting pump-couplers. We used a large multimode core of 15µm diameter to increase the laser gain volume and...
