Abstract
A passively switched , codoped fluoride fiber laser using a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) is demonstrated. -switching and partial mode-locking were observed with the output power produced at a slope efficiency of 24% with respect to the absorbed pump power. The partially mode-locked 2.87 m pulses operated at a repetition rate of 27.1 MHz with an average power of 132 mW, pulse energy of 4.9 nJ, and pulse width of 24 ps.
