Q-switching of fiber lasers using bulk elements has important drawbacks as reduced mechanical stability and high insertion losses. The development of efficient all-fiber modulation techniques is the key to obtain robust, compact and efficient Q-switched all-fiber lasers. Certainly, the development
## Abstract We report on a all‐fiber actively Q‐switched laser based on a Mach‐Zehnder interferometer (MZI). One of the arms of the MZI is bonded on a piezoelectric transducer (PZT). The path length difference between those two arms will change when a RF electric signal is applied drives the PZT, a
