We report soliton rains in a tunable Tm-doped fiber laser mode locked by carbon nanotubes. We also detect their second- and third-harmonics. We achieve a tunability of over 56 nm, from 1877 to 1933 nm, by introducing a polarization-maintaining isolator and two in-line polarization controllers. This makes our system promising as a tunable filter for ultrafast spectroscopy.
