Annotation

An active acousto-optic Q-factor modulation in а double-clad ytterblum-doped glass fiber laser has been experimentally implemented and investigated. А repetitive generation of smooth long (2-μs) pulses is attained. The parameters of the laser-pulse train generated are estimated. Based on numerical modeling, the main mechanisms responsible for the laser operation studied are explained.
