  • Abstract
    Thermal tuning of a Tm3+:Ho3+:SiO2 glass fiber laser was investigated. As a function of fiber length and temperature, the emission wavelength can be varied between 1960 and 2032 nm. The bandwidth of the laser emission is about 2 mm. Besides the wavelength also the change of threshold and slope efficiency with temperature and fiber length and the fiber absorption were measured
