Waveguide lasers operating at 1084nm in neodymium-diffused lithium niobate

We report the demonstration of waveguide lasers in lithium niobate into which the active element neodymium has been introduced by thermal diffusion. The waveguides were fabricated using conventional Ti indiffusion, and optical feedback was provided by the polished endfaces alone. The absorbed power...
