Abstract :
Summary form only given. We investigate the spectral characteristics of a cladding-pumped neodymium-doped fiber laser (NDFL) in a tunable configuration. The experimental set-up is shown. Pump light from a fiber-coupled diode bar at 808 nm (Thomson-CSF) was launched into a 5 m long double-clad Nd-doped fiber.
