Growth of optical waveguides by pulsed laser deposition

  • Physics of Lasers
  • Published:
Laser Physics

Abstract

An overview of active and passive waveguiding thin films fabricated by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is given. The focus is on materials used, deposition conditions, films characterization and on waveguiding properties. Parameters of lasing layers fabricated by PLD are summarized. Summary of potential applications of optical waveguides is presented.
