Passively Q-switched Er,Yb:GdAB laser with MBE-grown Cr:ZnS/Cr,Co:ZnS thin film saturable absorber was demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge. The pulses with 10.7 µJ energy, 6 ns duration, and 31 kHz repetition rate were obtained at the wavelength of 1522 nm. The saturable absorber manufacturing technique allows obtaining integrtated AE-SK
structures especially interesting for compact microchip Q-switched lasers with minimal
pulse duration.
