Abstract
We demonstrate the first actively -switched fiber laser operating in the 3.5 μm regime. The dual-wavelength pumped system makes use of an doped ZBLAN fiber and a germanium acousto-optic modulator. Robust -switching saw a pulse energy of 7.8 μJ achieved at a repetition rate of 15 kHz, corresponding to a peak power of 14.5 W.
