Passively Q-switched 0.1-mJ fiber laser system at 1.53 μm

Abstract

We demonstrate a passively $Q$-switched fiber laser system generating pulses with as much as 0.1  mJ of pulse energy at $1.53 \mu \mathrm{m}$ and a $>1‐\mathrm{kHz}$ repetition rate. These results were achieved with a simple master oscillator–power amplifier scheme with a single pump source, realized with large-mode-area fiber and multiple reflections upon a semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror.
