Buried laser waveguides in neodymium-doped BK-7 by K<sup>+</sup>-Na<sup>+</sup> ion-exchange across a direct-bonded interface

Buried laser waveguides in neodymium-doped BK-7 by K<sup>+</sup>-Na<sup>+</sup> ion-exchange across a direct-bonded interface

We report a technique for producing single-step buried K<sup>+</sup>-Na<sup>+</sup> ion-exchanged waveguide lasers in neodymium doped BK-7. Direct bonding is the basis for this process, providing atomic contact between two chemically modified BK-7-type substrates followed by...
