Abstract
We report the fabrication and performance of a highly efficient, monolithic distributed-Bragg-reflector channel waveguide laser in ytterbium-doped aluminum oxide. The long device was fabricated on a standard thermally oxidized silicon substrate and was optically pumped with a laser diode. Single-longitudinal-mode and single-polarization operation was achieved at a wavelength of . Continuous-wave output powers of up to and a launched pump power threshold of resulted in a slope efficiency of 67%.
