One of the nanosecond pulse output strategies for fiber lasers with controlled frequency is
active Q-switching. Low-cost, high-power efficiency, stable cavity, and customizable pulse …

The Q-switching characteristics of actively Q-switched fiber lasers, especially the

We propose and demonstrate an all-fiber self-Q-switched erbium laser system that is
saturable-absorber Q switched by the mismatch of the mode-field areas in the resonator and …

We report a two-stage 2-μm Tm ^3+ fiber amplifier seeded by an acousto-optic modulator
(AOM) modulated narrow-bandwidth pulsed laser. Maximum output average power is over …

We propose an optimum Q-switching profile for complete suppression of the multi-peak
