We report, for the first time to our knowledge, an acousto-optic Q-switched Er,Yb:YAl3(BO3)4 crystal laser operating in the 1.5 -1.6 μm spectral region. The output characteristics of the lasers with different duty cycles, pulse repetition frequencies (PRF) and output couplers were investigated. The
