All fiber Er-Tm Q-switched laser

For the first time we have suggested and realized passive Q‐switched cladding pumped Er‐doped fiber laser with a saturable absorber based on Tm‐doped fiber. The pulse duration was of 100 ns, the pulse energy – 0.35 mJ, the peak power – 3.5 kW while the average power is less than 1 W. The laser is pe...

Description
Summary:For the first time we have suggested and realized passive Q‐switched cladding pumped Er‐doped fiber laser with a saturable absorber based on Tm‐doped fiber. The pulse duration was of 100 ns, the pulse energy – 0.35 mJ, the peak power – 3.5 kW while the average power is less than 1 W. The laser is perspective for technology processes and medicine.
