  • Abstract
    A laser has been constructed in which a neodymium-doped glass slab forms the core region of a single-mode optical dielectric waveguide. The observed laser output is in a single, spatially coherent, transverse mode, which is characteristic of the waveguide structure, and has a diffraction-limited beamwidth.
