Q-switched operation of a neodymium-doped monomode fibre laser
Abstract
Q-switched operation of a neodymium-doped monomode fiber laser at 1.08 microns has been demonstrated. An intracavity acoustooptic modulator was used to switch pulses of 200 ns duration and 8.8 W peak power at a repetition rate of 100 Hz.
