975nm and 1975nm dual-wavelength pumped 3.5μm Er:ZLBAN fiber lasers have been numerically modeled.Laser power and particle density are estimated in both time and space dimensions and simulation results match well with the experimental reports.The whole process of stable continuous laser oscillation in a dualwavelength pumped 3.5μm Er:ZBLAN fiber laser is showed by simulation.3.5μm laser characteristics are estimated and studied with different fiber parameters,such as pump power,1975nm pump mode overlap factor,reflectivity of output lens,and interionic interaction.The condition in which ESA2 process has great influence on laser power is also investigated.Simulation promotes the understanding of 3.5μm Er:ZLBAN laser dynamics and provides valuable insight for laser designing.
