  • Abstract
    A semiconductor saturable absorber modulator is used, for the first time, in a passively Q-switched microchip laser in transmitting mode. The laser has a wavelength of 1.55 μm in a single longitudinal TEM00 mode beam and has pulse characteristics that compare favourably with previously reported data on comparable devices
