Abstract
Saturable‐absorber Q switching of an erbium‐doped Y3Al5O12(YAG) laser at 1.64 μm using U2+:SrF2 and U2+:CaF2 was demonstrated. The Er:YAG was longitudinally pumped using a free‐running 1.534 μm Er:glass laser. Q switched 1.64 μm pulses of 1.7 mJ and 25 ns pulse widths were obtained.Keywords
