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

Here we demonstrate active mode-locking (ML) and doubly-active Q-switching mode-locking (QML) of erbiumdoped strictly all-fiber lasers. The active ML mechanism relies in the acoustooptic superlattice modulation (AOSLM) effect induced when longitudinal acoustic waves are launched along a fiber Bragg
In this brief review we consider the relatively new design of the pulsed fiber lasers, namely lasers with the fiber saturable absorber (FSA). Main advantage of this design consists in a possibility to realize a simple all-fiber scheme of Qswitched laser. We show that such lasers can be based on the
For the first time we have suggested and realized all-fiber Q-switched Ho-doped laser with the fiber saturable absorber based on the heavily Ho-doped fiber. Two oscillation modes were observed. One of them allows one to obtain pulses with the duration of 20 ns and the peak power as high as 2 kW. Sec
