Abstract
Passive Q-switching of diode pumped 1.54 μm Yb,Er:glass laser with V3+:YAG crystal as a saturable absorber has been demonstrated. Slope efficiency of 10 % and average output power of 30 mW with Q-switching efficiency of 37 % were achieved. The passively Q-switched Yb,Er:glass laser operation has been simulated numerically.
