Abstract

We have adapted the point model for the study of an all-fiber laser doped with Nd³⁺ and Q-switched by a saturable fiber absorber doped with Cr⁴⁺. Calculations of the output power of the 1084 nm laser are considered as a function of the pump power supplied by a 790 nm laser diode. The analysis of the simulation results reveals the existence of pulsed, sinusoidal, and dc operating regimes.
