Abstract
A new type of pulsed fiber laser is suggested and developed— lasers. In such lasers the Yb fiber laser is Q-switched by use of a saturable absorber, a Bi-doped fiber placed in its own resonator, and pulsed lasing is obtained in both fiber lasers. Continous-wave diode-clad pumping of the lasers at a wavelength with power up to results in pulsed laser action in a spectral diapason of with a maximum pulse energy of up to , an average power up to , and a repetition rate up to .
