Abstract

Results are presented of an Er³⁺-doped CW fluorozirconate multimode fiber laser, operating efficiently at 2.75 μm, with low threshold power (< 1 mW), pumped at 650 and 795 nm, a tunable range of about 160 11m, and of a Ho³⁺-doped CW fluorozirconate multimode fiber laser operating around 2.9 ?m, pumped at 640 nm, with an absorbed power threshold of approx. 65 mW and a tunable range of about 120 nm. The absorbed power threshold was 35 mW when pumped at 750 nm.
