Abstract
The most convincing demonstration of the value of a waveguide geometry for lasers is provided by semiconductor lasers. This tutorial will however be devoted to waveguide lasers in dielectric materials, the emphasis being on planar waveguides rather than fibre waveguides, although some comparison between planar and fibre devices will be made.
