All-fiber laser configurations are compact and robust systems. They provide a beam of high quality and can achieve high power efficiency. All-fiber pulsed lasers, either Q-switched, modelocked or simultaneously Q-switched and modelocked, require the development of low-loss in-fiber modulation techniques. The devices based on in-fiber acoustooptic interaction, with a time response between 0.1 and 10 microseconds, permit the implementation of this type of lasers.
