Abstract

The time-energy characteristics of a Q-switched neodymiumdoped double-clad fiber laser are presented. Based on the proposed differential equations, a numerical model is developed to simulate this fiber laser. Using this model pulse duration and the energy of generated pulses can be predicted.
