Paper Abstract
We demonstrate a compact Er:glass single-rod fiber laser for rangefinding with 1 mJ energy Q-switched at 1.54μm.
Double-pass pumping with 16 W power and 5 ms pulse duration was used. Active medium was enveloped with diffuse
reflector. Thus efficient output power operation achieved. Free-running mode output pulse energy was 12 mJ with a
slope efficiency of 16%. Transparent glass-ceramics containing Co2+:MgAl2O4 nanocrystals were selected as the optimal
passive gate to ensure Q-switching in a temperature range and transverse mode selection. The Q-switch mode had steady
operation at 1 Hz repetition rate with thermal effects playing no visible role.
