摘要：

A waveguide laser with a neodymium-doped silica core is fabricated on a silicon substrate by a combination of flame hydrolysis deposition, solution doping, and direct UV writing. The neodymium-ion concentration is estimated to be similar to8000 parts in 10(6). The propagation loss around 1.05 mum is <0.8 dB/cm. Lasing in the range 1048-1056 nm and 1:356 +/- 1 nm is observed. A slope efficiency of 33% for a high-reflectivity output coupler and a threshold of 4 mW of absorbed power for a 25% output coupler are measured for the F-4(3/2) --> I-4(11/2) transition.
