Using Cr[Formula: see text]:ZnSe as the saturable absorber, stable passively [Formula: see text]-switched operation of the Er:YAG laser at 1617 and 1645[Formula: see text]nm with per-pulse energy higher than 200[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]J can be achieved by controlling the output coupling ratios. The result indicates that the Cr[Formula: see text]:ZnSe crystal could be a robust nonlinear optical modulator for [Formula: see text]m pulsed laser.

An 1892.4 nm ultrafast passive Q-switched fiber laser is demonstrated by using Thulium-doped fiber (TDF) in conjunction with a multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a saturable absorber (SA). The MWCNTs film is sandwiched between two FC/PC fiber connectors and integrated into the laser cavity with 802 nm pump for Q-switching pulse generation. The pulse repetition rate can be tuned from 3.8 to 4.6 kHz while the corresponding pulse width reduces from 22.1 to 18.4 μs as the pump power is increased from 187.3 to 194.2 mW. A higher performance Q-switched Thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) is expected to be achieved with the optimization of the MWCNT-SA saturable absorber and laser cavity.
