Abstract
We report a high-power diode-pumped wavelength-tunable erbium-doped ZBLAN mid-infrared fiber laser. Continuous-wave output of with a spectral linewidth of was obtained. Nevertheless, the wavelength-tunable range was found to shrink with increasing pump power. The gain bandwidth narrowing under strong pumping may be ascribed to the enhanced reabsorption process and the weakened population inversion associated with shorter-wavelength emissions.
