Abstract

We present an Ytterbium fibre laser operating in the Q-switch regime by using a Micro- Opto- Electro- Mechanical System (MOEMS) of novel design. The cantilever-type micro-mirror is designed to generate short laser pulses with duration between 20 ns and 100 ns at repetition rates ranging from a few kilohertz up to 800 kHz. The bent profile of this new type of MOEMS ensures a high modulation rate of the laser cavity losses while keeping a high actuating frequency.

The green rays define the beam propagation before and after reflection on the MOEMS for the on-state case (V≠0), i.e. when the beam is correctly redirected towards the laser cavity. The red rays represent the deflected beam for the off-state (V=0). The hatched area shows the light losses, imposed by the deflection. N.A.: Numerical Aperture.
