A polarised brightness-enhanced Nd:Y<sub>3</sub>Al5O<sub>12</sub> planar waveguide laser

A simple method for the production of a polarised Nd:Y<sub>3</sub>Al5O<sub>12</sub> on Y<sub>3</sub>Al5O<sub>12</sub> planar waveguide laser is reported. A 50nm layer of Au deposited on the surface of an unclad, 8.3 µm thick core region has produced an...
