A slab laser based on borosilicate phosphate glass doped with erbium and ytterbium with transverse diode pumping has been developed and investigated. In the passive Q-switching regime, using a shutter based on a glass-crystalline material with nanosize spinel doped with divalent cobalt ions, the energy of the output radiation was 1.3mJ with a pulse width of 19ns. With active Q switching, the energy of the developed laser was 2.3mJ. The internal optical losses are estimated, and the parameters of the passive shutter are determined.
