Efficient diode-pumped CW and Q-switched single-mode fibre laser

We report the efficient operation an Nd3+-doped silica single-mode fibre laser pumped by a GaAlAs laser diode. A CW output power in excess of 1 mW at 1.088 µm has been obtained with a slope efficiency of 33%. Q-switched operation of this device is also reported.
