Non-photorefractive cw Tm-indiffused Ti:LiNbO<sub>3</sub> waveguide laser operating at room temperature

We report laser operation at 1.81µm and 1.85µm in a Tm<sup>3+</sup>:LiNbO<sub>3</sub> Ti-diffused waveguide doped by thermal indiffusion at high temperature. We believe this is the first time lasing has been seen in Tm:LiNbO<sub>3</sub> at room temperature. Contin...
