Laser operation of a low loss (0.1dB/cm) Nd:Gd<sub>3</sub>Ga<sub>5</sub>O<sub>12</sub> thick (40 micron) planar waveguide grown by pulsed laser deposition

Waveguiding films of Nd:Gd<sub>3</sub>Ga<sub>5</sub>O<sub>12</sub> with a thickness up to 40 m have been fabricated by pulsed-laser deposition on Y<sub>3</sub>Al<sub>5</sub>O<sub>12</sub> (1 0 0) substrates. A laser threshold of...
