Abstract
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 stabilized with a saturable-amplifier pump switch. Sequential pulses with a pulse energy of 8-6 μJ and a pulse duration of 80-320 ns, correponding to a pulse repetition rate of 0.25-1 kHz, were obtained using a cw 980 nm laser-diode pump. A peak pulse power of near 100 W was achieved.
