Proton beam writing of Nd:GGG crystals as new waveguide laser sources

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Focused proton beam writing has been utilized to fabricate optical channel waveguides in Nd:GGG crystals. The 1MeV proton beam irradiation creates a local modified region with positive refractive index changes at the end of the proton trajectory, in which the channel waveguide could confine the light field in a symmetric way. Room- temperature laser emission has been achieved at 1063.7nm, with absorbed pump power of 61mW (at 808nm). The obtained slope efficiency of the Nd:GGG waveguide laser system is as high as 66%, which is, to our best knowledge, the highest value for integrated lasers from ion beam processed channel waveguide systems.
