Abstract:
Amplified spontaneous emission is experimentally found to play an important role in the dynamics of pulse formation in Q-switched fiber lasers and leads to stepwise (or quantized) behavior of the emission buildup. This effect could be included in detailed modeling of pulsed fiber lasers and might be interesting in some applications.
