Abstract

The passive Q-switching performance of an in-band pumped Dy-doped fluorozirconate fibre laser emitting around 3.1 µm is investigated. Passively Q-switched laser operation is demonstrated employing semi-conductor saturable absorber mirrors. Stable operation is achieved, with a minimum pulse duration of 464 ns, a highest repetition frequency of 210 kHz and peak pulse powers up to 3 W.
