Abstract A stable Q-switched erbium doped fiber laser emitting at 1558 nm is demonstrated using a cadmium selenide (CdSe) material coated onto a side-polished D-shape fiber as the saturable absorber (SA). By elevating the input pump power from the threshold of 91 mW to the maximum available power of 136 mW, a pulse train with a maximum repetition rate of 57.44 kHz, minimum pulse width of 3.76 μs, maximum average output power of 7.99 mW, maximum pulse energy of 0.1391 $\mu$J, and maximum peak power of 36.99 mW are obtained. The signal-to-noise ratio of the spectrum is measured to be around 75 dB. This CdSe based SA is simple, robust, and reliable, and thus suitable for making a portable pulse laser source.
