Abstract

A spontaneously chaotic, self-pulsing ytterbium-doped fibre laser is partially stabilized into the passively Q-switched mode of operation using a chromium-doped saturable absorber fibre. This original all-fibre laser produces sustained and stable trains of smooth pulses at high repetition rate.
