Abstract :
In this paper we review the research progress on single-frequency waveguide lasers toward high-power level in excess of 100 mW. Those devices are very promising candidates for applications were insensitivity to technical noise and possible integration with other devices is a key issue. We therefore discuss were implementation of sub-wavelength structures will play a key role in the device performance.
