A newly developed Q-switched Er:glass laser with a long pulse length, suitable for fiber-fault location is described. A specially prepared athermal rod has made it possible to operate at a 5-Hz repetition rate. A feedback-stabilized Q-switched method involving fluorescence monitoring has been applied to this three-level laser system. A +- 3% power stability (standard deviation) has been obtained for a 2-..mu..sec pulse with a 1-mJ output energy.
