Single-longitudinal-mode operation of a 1 W combined actively and passively Q-switched Cr,Nd:YAG laser

High-brightness fiber laser sources usually utilize active rare-earth-doped fibers cladding-pumped by multimode laser diodes (LDs), but they operate in limited wavelength ranges. Singlemode-passive-fiber based Raman lasers are able to operate at almo
