Abstract
By adopting a GaAs based semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM), we have demonstrated a ~3.5 μm passively Q-switched Er3+:ZBLAN fiber laser. The recorded highest repetition rate is 58.71 kHz with a pulse width of 2.4 μs and pulse energy of ~1 pJ. The results prove that the GaAs based SESAM has the capacity to extend the operation wavelength to midinfrared region beyond 3.0 μm.
