Abstract
In this paper, we have demonstrated all-fiber Q-switched cavities optimized for short and smooth output pulse generation. The great efficiency of small core diameter fibers allows reaching short pulses without using high pump power, preserving the setup simplicity of low power single transverse mode cavities.
