Passive Q-switching of fiber lasers using a broadband liquefying gallium mirror
Using a nonlinear cavity element, a liquefying gallium mirror, we demonstrate stable, self-starting, passive Q-switching of both erbium and ytterbium fiber laser cavities operating at wavelengths of 1550 and 1030 nm, respectively. The performance at 1550 nm is shown to be equivalent to that achieved...
