Q-switched Erbium-doped fiber laser with solid state saturable absorber fiber

A simple Q-switched Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) operating at 1556 nm is demonstrated based on a solid state saturable absorber fiber. The laser employs a newly developed Erbium-doped fiber with a high Erbium concentration as a gain medium and a 1 m long commercial Thulium-doped fiber as a Q-swit...
