Abstract
Direct UV writing provides an attractive route towards low-cost integrated optical components in silica-on-silicon wafers. Extending these results towards bulk glass types offers more versatile host compositions, improved spectroscopy, and an extended range of integrated devices and structures. In this paper we present the first demonstration of single-mode buried channel waveguide lasers in neodymium-doped SGBN glass1 by a combination of direct bonding2 and direct UV writing3 techniques.
