Abstract

Operating characteristics of Q-switched Nd3+: doped single mode silica fibre with a mechanical chopper as a Q-switching device are presented. Peak power as high as 16 W with pulse duration 146 ns are demonstrated. Self-mode-locking in Nd3+:doped fibre is also reported. Output power of 312 W with centre pulse duration of 4 ns is observed.
