Explore: Waveguide Lasers

pulsed laser deposition has been utilized to fabricate high quality crystalline films, such as doped garnet thin films for use as planar waveguide lasers. The

fiber waveguides, transparent dielectric waveguides made of plastic and glass, liquid light guides, and liquid waveguides. Optical waveguides are used

radio waves and microwaves confined to a waveguide, and also in light waves in an optical fiber and in a laser's optical resonator. Transverse modes occur

powering most diode lasers, this class of lasers is sometimes termed injection lasers, or injection laser diodes (ILD). As diode lasers are semiconductor

Quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs) are semiconductor lasers that emit in the mid- to far-infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and were first demonstrated

An erbium-doped waveguide amplifier (or EDWA) is a type of an optical amplifier enhanced with erbium. It is a close relative of an EDFA, erbium-doped

linewidth-broadening effect in gain-guided compared to index-guided semiconductor waveguide lasers. Siegman later showed that this effect is due to the non-orthogonality

laser is a laser that uses a gain medium that is a solid, rather than a liquid as in dye lasers or a gas as in gas lasers. Semiconductor-based lasers

aluminum antimonide (AlSb), and related alloys. These lasers are similar to quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) in several ways. Like QCLs, ICLs employ the concept

lasers clean a large spot with a single pulse. Lower power lasers use many small pulses which may be scanned across an area. In some industries laser
