• double Q-switches
• pulse width
• pulse symmetry

By using both electric-optic (EO) modulator and GaAs saturable absorber, a doubly actively-passively Q-switched laser is realized for the first time. Especially, the more symmetric and shorter pulse is generated in comparison to purely Eo-actively or GaAs-passively Q-switched laser. In addition, a symmetric factor is defined to describe the temporal symmetry of the pulses. The experimental results show that it is possible to obtain a more symmetric pulse in doubly Q-switched laser.
