High-power Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser

Rare-earth single-mode fibers are of specific interest in the field of optical communication as lasers or in-line optical amplifiers. High-power erbium-doped fiber lasers, operating in the eye safe wavelength region of 1.5 μm, are attractive not only in fiber communication but also for such applications as range finding.
