Rare-earth-ion-doped monoclinic potassium double tungstates KY(WO4)2, KGd(WO4)2, and KLu(WO4)2 are excellent host materials for solid-state lasers [1]. High-quality KY(WO4)2 optical waveguides were grown and laser operation was demonstrated for the first time [2]. Co-doping a KY(WO4)2 layer with Gd 3+ and Lu 3+ ions allows for lattice-matched layers with increased refractive index contrast with...

Epitaxially grown, 2.4-microm-thin layers of KY(WO(4))(2):Gd(3+), Lu(3+), Yb(3+), which exhibit a high refractive index contrast with respect to the undoped KY(WO(4))(2) substrate, have been microstructured by Ar beam milling, providing 1.4-microm-deep ridge channel waveguides of 2 to 7 microm width, and overgrown by an undoped KY(WO(4))(2) layer. Channel waveguide laser operation was achieved ...

In KGd(1-x)Lu(x)(WO(4))(2):Yb(3+) channel waveguides grown onto KY(WO(4))(2) substrates by liquid phase epitaxy and microstructured by Ar+ beam etching, we produced 418 mW of continuous-wave output power at 1023 nm with a slope efficiency of 71% and a threshold of 40 mW of launched pump power at 981 nm. The degree of output coupling was 70%. By grating tuning in an extended cavity and pumping a...

This contribution reviews our recent results on rare-earth-ion-doped integrated amplifiers and lasers. We have concentrated our efforts on complex-doped polymers [1], amorphous Al2O3 [2], and crystalline potassium double tungstates [3]. A polymer host material, based on a cycloaliphatic diepoxy cured with a fluorinated dianhydride, has been developed [4]. When activated with the rare-earth-ion-...
