Development of channel waveguide lasers in Nd<sup>3+</sup>-doped chalcogenide (Ga:La:S) glass through photoinduced material modification
We report the development of a waveguide laser source in a neodymium-doped chalcogenide (Ga:La:S) glass. Channel waveguide structures were directly written via above band gap (λ=244 nm) illumination provided by a focused UV-laser beam with fluencies 1.5-150 J/cm<sup>2</sup>. Effects of p...
