Abstract
There is a growing interest in using planar waveguides for high-power diode-pumped laser devices due to their geometrical compatibility with diode-bars and good thermal management capabilities. Here we report on our progress in constructing and characterising diode-bar, end and side-pumped Nd:YAG waveguide lasers.
