Self-balanced Q- and gain-switched erbium all-fiber laser
We demonstrate a 980-nm CW-pumped fully passive pulsed all-Er3+ all-fiber laser, self-balancing between being Q- and gain-switched at S and L bands. The laser was passively Q-switched at 1510 nm with the saturable absorber in an intra-cavity gain-switched at 1570 nm. The time spacing between the Q-...
